"No matter what Hizbullah does to obstruct the government or even topple it … the indictment will be issued," the source told pan-Arab daily al-Hayat in remarks published Monday.
"Even if Lebanon stops to finance the court, there are enough funds to issue the indictment," the source said.
The official confirmed that French President Nicolas Sarkozy was working with all Arab officials involved with the situation in Lebanon to avert a deteriorating situation in the country.
Premier Saad Hariri's visit to Paris this week comes as part of Sarkozy's support for the Lebanese government, the source told al-Hayat. He added that Syrian President Bashar Assad's expected visit to the French capital in the next few days was also aimed at continuing French-Syrian dialogue over Lebanon.
Asked about a possible Syrian rejection of the tribunal's indictment, the source said: "The court is independent and no one can stop its work … All of us, including Syria, should calm the situation."
"We hope that Lebanon's political life does not become the victim of an indictment which no one knows when will be issued or whom it will accuse," the official added.
