Development and Liberation bloc MP Ali Khreiss denied on Tuesday that there is any disagreement on the issue of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon between the parties in the cabinet, reported the National News Agency.
There will be no delay in discussions on the ministerial statement, he told Sawt al-Mada radio, adding, “The international tribunal is not an ordinary or easy clause.”
Khreiss said that the STL file might be transferred to the national dialogue table or discussed in the next cabinet session.
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.
The ministerial statement of Hariri’s cabinet recognized the UN-backed international tribunal.
