The issue of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) ) might be transferred to the national dialogue, a ministerial source said in remarks published on Thursday.
He also told Al-Jumhuriya newspaper that current discussions on the ministerial statement are tackling how to tackle the tribunal.
Energy Minister Gebran Bassil said on Wednesday that a possible solution for the ministerial statement concerning the STL would be for the text to mention justice in general, and not the tribunal.
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 Saad Hariri’s government recognized the STL.
The new Lebanese cabinet—headed by PM Najib Mikati—was formed last week after almost five months of deliberations between the March 8 parties.
