A source close to Prime Minister Najib Mikati said that no party can abolish the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) probing former PM Rafik Hariri’s 2005 assassination.
“No one can abolish the tribunal or resist international legitimacy,” the unnamed source was quoted as saying by Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Anbaa’s Monday edition.
He also said that Mikati is committed to implementing international resolutions, adding that “[the PM] will commit to a unanimous agreement taken [to support] the STL.”
“In case there is no agreement, Mikati will commit to what suits Lebanon’s position.”
On June 13, Mikati announced the formation of the cabinet in which the Iranian-backed Hezbollah and its allies hold a majority.
There are rumors that the STL will indict Hezbollah for the Rafik Hariri murder, a move Hezbollah has repeatedly warned against.
