Lebanese Forces bloc MP George Adwan told Future News television on Tuesday that the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) and the Taif Accord are not up for discussion.
He added that Monday’s Mach 14 meeting at Prime Minister Saad Hariri’s downtown residence reinforced the understanding between the alliance’s parties.
Tension is high in Lebanon after unconfirmed reports that the STL will 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—when gunmen led by Hezbollah took over half of Beirut.
