Junblat and Saleh Tarif

The chairman of the Lebanese Socialist Progressive party said in a statement to the " Kul al-Arab " ( all the Arabs) daily issued in the Palestinian territories on Friday concerning his position over appointing Saleh Tarif as a minister in Israel that " If Tarif wants to get into history he had immediately to declare taking the Druze ( Both Junblat and Tarif are Druze ) out of their bottleneck in serving in the Israeli army and to refuse this very service."

Junblat continued, Tarif has to choose either to choose to be a Druze Zionist or an Arab Druze. If he chooses the first option there will be then no difference between him and Sharon and if he chooses the second option then he has to call for taking the Druze soldiers out of the Israeli army.
