Newly-appointed Minister of State Ahmad Karami said Monday that no one can interfere in the affairs of the UN-backed Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL).
“The tribunal is international, and thus, no one can interfere in its track,” Karami told MTV.
He also said that Hezbollah insisted on naming Faisal Karami – the son of former Prime Minister Omar Karami – as a minister in the new cabinet.
However, he added that PM Najib Mikati “refused to let go of me and insisted on naming me and Faisal Karami in the cabinet.”
On January 12, the Hezbollah-led March 8 coalition brought down Saad Hariri's government after a long-running dispute over the STL’s probe of ex-Premier Rafik Hariri’s 2005 murder, which the party worries will implicate its members.
