Now Lebanon - Khoury believes cabinet will approve STL funding , September 28, 2011

Environment Minister Nazem al-Khoury said in an interview published on Wednesday that he believes that the cabinet will approve the funding of the UN-backed Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) probing the 2005 assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.
Khoury told Al-Jumhuriya newspaper that President Michel Sleiman has never recanted his position concerning international resolutions and the role that the United Nations plays in South Lebanon.
President Sleiman said in his United Nations that Lebanon is committed to the STL funding and to all international resolutions.
Hezbollah-led March 8 parties – which currently dominate Lebanon’s cabinet – have opposed a clause in the Lebanese annual state budget pertaining to the funding of the tribunal which is probing the 2005 assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.
Four Hezbollah members have been indicted by the STL. However, the Shia group strongly denied the charges and refuses to cooperate with the court.
