Walid Jumblatt
Today, Walid Jumblatt is a prominent Lebanese politician and the leader of the Druze of Lebanon (an influential religious community found in the Arab World, specifically in Lebanese politics). His son, Taymoor, is being prepared to follow his father's footsteps in the political scene in the future. After the assassination of the Lebanese prime-minister Rafik Al-Hariri, Walid Jumblatt preemptively protected his children by sending them to France. Although Lebanese Druze leader Walid Jumblatt is the most known and influential figure of the family in modern Lebanon, there are other Jumblatt family members from this lineage who contribute to the cultural, economic and social life in Lebanon, and not restricted to the Chouf and Mount Lebanon, but also having a visible presence in mansions and villas within the distinguished Clemenceau area of Beirut and in the north-west upscale area of Sidon.
