Naharnet - Jumblat Expected to Make ‘Critical Stances’ from STL Funding, October 10, 2011


W460
Progressive Socialist Party leader Walid Jumblat is expected to make “critical stances” during the swearing in ceremony of new PSP members in Shwaifat on Sunday, informed sources said.
Jumblat will seek to clarify his stance from the funding of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon that is set to try ex-Premier Rafik Hariri’s suspected assassins, they told al-Mustaqbal daily.
The sources said however that the Druze chief has already stressed that he supports the funding of the tribunal, a move totally rejected by Hizbullah and its March 8 allies.
The government’s centrist forces – President Michel Suleiman, Premier Najib Miqati and Jumblat – have supported the funding, putting themselves in confrontation with Hizbullah which describes the STL as an American and Israeli tool aimed at targeting the Shiite party.
The STL has indicted four Hizbullah members.
