Now Lebanon - Jumblatt wants Hariri and Nasrallah to meet - September 23, 2010

In an interview with As-Safir newspaper published on Thursday, Democratic Gathering bloc leader MP Walid Jumblatt voiced hope that Prime Minister Saad Hariri and Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah would meet soon to discuss the ways to deal with the issue of witnesses who gave false testimonies in the investigation of the 2005 assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.

“Resolving [disputes] is in the first place the responsibility of Hariri and Nasrallah,” he added.

He also said that “the issue of false witnesses is a domestic matter and can be resolved between Lebanese parties, but that the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL)’s pending indictment is international.”

Tension is currently high in Lebanon as some March 8 coalition politicians are calling for the abolition of the STL, while Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun and former head of General Security Jamil as-Sayyed have publicly attacked the government.
