Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea voiced his pessimism regarding the cabinet’s intents on the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, adding “the intents are not pure.”
He also said that the cabinet is “obliged” to cooperate with the STL and implement all that the tribunal requests, adding that if it rejects to cooperate and implement the arrest warrants submitted earlier by the STL, “we will have no choice but to use peaceful means to overthrow this cabinet.”
Geagea added that if the cabinet does not cooperate with the tribunal, it will engage in a confrontation with the UN Security Council as well as Arab and international parties.
The STL said in a statement published on its website that the indictment and accompanying arrest warrants were transmitted to the Lebanese authorities on Thursday.
A judicial official told AFP that four Lebanese suspects are named in the indictment.
Local media said at least two of them were members of the Iranian and Syrian-backed Hezbollah, which has warned it would defend itself if accused.
