During the March 14 coalition’s Monday meeting, Prime Minister Saad Hariri was unyielding in his support for the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) and the Taif Accord, As-Safir newspaper reported on Tuesday.
Hariri voiced a firm backing of the STL and rejected to transfer the issue of “false witnesses” to the Justice Council, an unnamed source told the daily.
The source quoted the PM as saying that “[March 8] wants to terminate the STL, which is unacceptable to us.”
He also said that he will not give up on any of his allies, the source added.
March 14 held an expanded meeting in Hariri’s downtown residence on Monday evening.
The meeting came amid Lebanese tensions after unconfirmed reports said that the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) would soon issue its indictment for the 2005 assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri. March 8 parties are calling for the abolition of the tribunal.
