Development and Liberation bloc MP Michel Moussa said on Thursday that the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) clause in the ministerial statement will please the international community, adding, “Lebanon did not renounce international resolutions”
“It is better to care more about the events that will follow the indictment rather than on the ministerial statement formulation style” he said according to the National News Agency.
Moussa also ruled out the possibility of Lebanon renouncing agreements agreed on by previous cabinet, adding that if the ministerial statement is adopted today, parliamentary sessions to address it will start next week.
Following its June 13 formation, Prime Minister Najib Mikati’s government tasked a committee comprised of 10 ministers representing the cabinet’s factions to draft a ministerial statement.
The committee has been discussing how to tackle the issue of the STL’s upcoming indictment into the 2005 assassination of former PM Rafik Hariri, which Hezbollah has repeatedly warned will target the party.
