In an interview with As-Sharq al-Awsat newspaper published on Saturday, Loyalty to the Resistance bloc MP Kamel Rifai said that Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah is not trying to topple the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL).
“Nasrallah told Prime Minister Saad Hariri that he wants to know the truth behind who assassinated [former] PM Rafik Hariri. But he wants decisions by the tribunal to be backed by compelling facts, evidence and pretexts, and not politicized decisions influenced by the United States and Israel,” Rifai said.
He also said Nasrallah’s claim on Thursday that Hariri told the Hezbollah leader back in May that the STL will indict some of his party members was “a precaution” designed to protect internal peace and security and also to protect the Resistance and its weapons.
