The details of that session remained secret, and only a few of its main points were leaked over the subsequent years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eOn March 16, 1977, the Druze leader was assassinated near a Syrian army checkpoint, which was part of the Arab Deterrent Force.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eOn September 30, the Taif Agreement consecrated the end of the civil war, and in 1992, national reconciliation took place among all parties that participated in the war, including parties and sects, and a new chapter of coexistence began in Lebanon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eOn December 8, 2024, the Syrian regime fell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eThen, in 2025, the killer who eliminated Kamal Jumblatt at the behest of the regime at the time was found.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eNow that the accusation has been proven, the publication of the minutes of this session, which would not have appeared had it not been for the fall of the regime, the storming of administrations, and the exposure of secret documents, seems highly important for what it reveals about the antagonism and sharpness that overshadowed that charged session between the two men.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eThe text is in colloquial Arabic, as we chose to publish it as is in compliance with professionalism and credibility, but the conversation is clear, the words are clear, and what is clearer is what was not said...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003ePrepared and presented by: Hadi Wahab – a Lebanese researcher with a Ph.D. from the University of Exeter in Britain, author of the book\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\"From a Balcony in Jahiliyya: Blood, Love, and Sectarianism in Mount Lebanon\"\u003cbr\u003eand\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eIn addition to several scientific articles on sectarian identities and the relationship of minorities with terrorism during the Syrian war.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hachette Antoine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47939327000730,"sku":"9786140606760","price":63.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/9335\/7466\/files\/9786140606760.jpg?v=1777466840","url":"https:\/\/bookfanar.com\/en\/products\/9786140606760","provider":"Book Fanar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
