| Hizbullah: Tribunal for Resistance |
| 2008-07-27 |
| Hizbullah has countered efforts by majority representatives to refer the topic of its resistance to national dialogue by proposing a similar handling of the international tribunal. The pan-Arab daily al-Hayat said Hizbullah's representative to the ministerial committee drafting the new cabinet's policy statement Mohammed Fneish, made the proposal during a lengthy meeting on Friday. Majority representatives protested against the Hizbullah proposal, noting that agreement was reached during national dialogue in 2006 on the international tribunal that would try suspects in the 2005 assassination of ex-Premier Rafik Hariri and related crimes. However, Hizbullah sources said Fneish believes that the court was accepted "in principle. However, details require further discussion to guarantee that the tribunal wouldn't be biased and politicized." |
