A March 14 figure said in remarks published Tuesday that “preserving justice brings stability” to Lebanon.
He told Al-Jumhuriya newspaper that March 14 supporters have been asking for Justice for the past six years, “and it is not appropriate to say that the timing of the issuance of Special Tribunal for Lebanon’s (STL) indictment is suspicious.”
The daily also reported that March 14 figures and parties will hold a gathering to address the points in the ministerial statement that refer to the STL and international relations, and to draft a united stance based on recent developments.
The new Lebanese cabinet—headed by Prime Minister Najib Mikati—was formed on June 12 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.
