Kataeb bloc MP Nadim Gemayel said during Wednesday’s parliamentary session on the new cabinet’s ministerial statement that Prime Minister Najib Mikati’s government will “assassinate the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) and kill former PM Rafik Hariri a second time.”
“We will not allow this cabinet of [armed] groups and Syrian regime [infiltrators] to assassinate the tribunal,” he added.
Gemayel added that the use of arms brought Mikati to the premiership.
The Kataeb MP also said that an armed group is “imposing its will on the army and [controlling] the whole country.”
The STL handed last week Mirza arrest warrants for four members of the Iranian-and Syrian-backed Hezbollah in connection to the 2005 assassination of Rafik Hariri.
However, Hezbollah General Secretary Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah on Saturday said he would never hand over the four, adding the Netherlands-based court was heading for a trial in absentia.
