Daily Star - Zahra rails at PM over Hezbollah, STL comments, November 5th 2011


BEIRUT: Batroun MP Antoine Zahra criticized Prime Minister Najib Mikati Friday for describing Hezbollah’s stance toward the Special Tribunal for Lebanon as positive.
“The worst position Mikati has taken is when he said he considered Hezbollah’s request for a vote on the tribunal to be positive,” he told a local radio station, referring to Mikati’s remarks in his interview Thursday with the BBC.
“Mikati’s position that Hezbollah did not say ‘no’ to funding the court is an attempt to improve the image [of the government] … Secretary-General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah considers the tribunal to be an Israeli tool and rejected the funding,” added Zahra, a Lebanese Forces official.
