Lebanese Druze majority leader Walid Joumblat said Saturday that the Palestinians should be united and not divided like the Lebanese, local Elnashra website reported.
"Do not fall in the trap which we have fell after the 2006 war, your cause is more important than any other cause in the world, Joumblat said to crowd visiting him at his residence in Mouktara in the Shouf mountain.
He also said the Palestinian unity will win no matter how difficult the situation would be.
Lebanese majority and opposition have been severely divided over Hezbollah arsenal, leading to a political deadlock following the 2006 war between Israel and Hezbollah.
Joumblat told the Palestinians to accept all "aid" even rockets, but warned them not to give up their decision and will to those who donate the "aid".
Lebanese majority leaders have showed increasingly moral support to the Palestinians in Gaza, but none of the pro-government leaders has called for an urgent Arab summit to discuss the situation in Gaza.
Israel has been carrying out unprecedented intensive airstrikes on Hamas movement targets in Gaza, killing 434 Palestinians, most of them militants, and wounding some 2,290 people.
Lebanese President Michel Suleiman and Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri have been urging Arab leaders to convene in an urgent Arab summit to reach a unified Arab stand.
