Development and Liberation bloc MP Ali Osseiran said that “the most important thing right now is to protect national unity and to put an end to the tension and crisis coming from the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL),” the National News Agency (NNA) reported on Thursday.
Tension is high in Lebanon after reports said that the STL could soon issue its indictment for the 2005 assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri. There are fears that should the court indict Hezbollah members, it could lead to clashes similar to those of the 2008 May Events.
March 8 coalition politicians are calling for the abolition of the tribunal.
“We have found ourselves in a political situation that can affect peace and we have to put an end to this immediately,” said Osseiran.
-NOW Lebanon
