Future bloc MP Ammar Houri said on Sunday that transferring the Special Tribunal for Lebanon’s file to the national dialogue table is a conspiracy which targets the efforts of the STL.
“We will not accept to transfer the STL file to the national dialogue table, it should be dealt with in the cabinet,” he told Future News television.
“We insist on including the STL in the ministerial statement,” Houri added.
He also said that the other team is trying to transfer the STL file to the national dialogue so as to divert the discussions from the issue of non-state arms.
The new Lebanese cabinet—headed by Prime Minister Najib Mikati—was formed last week after almost five months of deliberations between the March 8 parties.
Before bringing down Saad Hariri’s cabinet in January, Hezbollah had been pressing him to disavow the STL, which is probing the 2005 assassination of former PM Rafik Hariri and likely to implicate members of the Shia group.
The Ministerial Statement of Saad Hariri’s government recognized the STL.
