March 14 General Secretariat Coordinator Fares Soueid said on Monday that the newly-formed cabinet has “a basic duty to cancel the Special Tribunal for Lebanon.”
“[The March 14 coalition] rejects the ‘justice in return for stability’ formula,” he told MTV station.
“Prime Minister Najib Mikati will not dare to approve a ministerial statement that does not [adhere to] international resolutions,” despite Hezbollah’s will, Soueid added.
Soueid also said that this cabinet will implement the will of the Syrian regime and Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.
He added that Nasrallah “is stuck within his own community,” in a reference to uncovering three spies within Hezbollah.
The March 14 coordinator said that his coalition’s opposition will be democratic and peaceful, adding that the opposition will set its own guidelines without any interference.

The new Lebanese cabinet—headed by 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.
