Last month, Jumblatt called for an extraordinary session of parliament to approve the draft bill to grant the Palestinian refugees in Lebanon their civil rights and allow them ownership.
Jumblatt demanded a full lift to the siege imposed on the Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon saying that they already suffer from Life’s hardships there so why make them suffer more.
