Loyalty to the Resistance bloc MP Hassan Fadlallah told New TV on Sunday that Prime Minister Saad Hariri is primarily requested to resolve the controversies regarding the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL), adding that “the premier has many responsibilities to bear.”
“We did not ask anything of Hariri in specific because he knows what he should do,” Fadlallah said, adding that his bloc does not have a problem with Hariri as the head of a national-unity cabinet.
Fadlallah also said that Hezbollah is not afraid of the STL’s pending indictment.
“The problem is with the project that began with [UN Security Council] Resolution 1559 [issued in 2004], the 2006 July War and the STL indictment that aim at targeting the Resistance,” Fadlallah said, adding that “some Lebanese parties are involved [in the project].”
Tension ran high in Lebanon after reports said that the STL would soon issue its indictment in the 2005 assassination of former PM Rafik Hariri.
There are fears that should the court indict Hezbollah members, this could lead to a Sunni-Shia conflict similar to the one that brought the country to the brink of civil war in May 2008.
