iloubnan - Jarrah: Hezbollah won't include STL in the policy statement - June 27, 2011

National News Agency (NNA) reported that Future's Deputy Jamal Jarrah told MTV channel on monday that "Hezbollah is not willing, in any way whatsoever, to include the Special Tribunal for Lebanon in the impending ministerial policy statement." 

"The position and decision of Future Movement pertaining to STL is clear and blatant; we accept any decision to be issued by the Tribunal under the condition that it is founded upon clear-cut evidence," he said. 

He denied that Future Movement had accused Hezbollah of Rafik Hariri's assassination. "We rather accused Syria and it was a political accusation...Hezbollah accused itself through the incessant attack on STL," he added. 

He considered the current government to be "a mixture of two governments: that of Hezbollah, and that of centrism (Mikati-Sleiman-Jumblatt)," expecting it not to persist for long for "it is the mixture of two different political agendas." 

The Deputy did not fail to remind that former Prime Minister Saad Hariri was still outside Lebanon down to security reasons.
