An unnamed source close to Prime Minister Najib Mikati said with regards to the Ministerial Statement article pertaining to the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, that Mikati will commit to a stance that suits Lebanon, Al-Mustaqbal newspaper reported on Sunday.
The source added that Mikati is committed to all international decisions.
Al-Hayat newspaper also quoted an unnamed minister as saying that Mikati, in cooperation with Speaker Nabih Berri, will draft a formula that does not contradict international commitments and with which all parties agree.
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 is likely to implicate members of the Shia group.
The new Lebanese cabinet was formed last week after almost five months of deliberations between the March 8 parties. The March 14 coalition had announced it will not take part in Mikati’s government.
