Loyalty to the Resistance bloc MP Nawwaf Moussawi said that the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) has one aim which is to protect Israel’s security, the National News Agency (NNA) reported on Monday.
Commenting on STL Prosecutor Daniel Bellemare’s requests from Lebanese authorities, Moussawi said “[Bellemare’s] requests are insulting to both the Lebanese people and government.”
“We will not allow [anyone] to drag us into a sectarian dispute. Divisions in Lebanon are not sectarian. [They] are between those who work for protecting Lebanon and liberating [its occupied land] from Israel and those who place Lebanese national decisions in the hands of the US.”
A local newspaper reported on Wednesday that four ministers have not complied with information requests from Bellemare who submitted his draft indictment in the case of the 2005 assassination of former PM Rafik Hariri to STL Pre-Trial Judge Daniel Fransen in mid-January.
Prime Minsiter-designate Najib Mikati was appointed to the premiership in January with the March 8 coalition’s backing following the collapse of Saad Hariri’s unity government due to a long-running dispute over the UN-backed probe.
