Ad-Diyar newspaper quoted on Tuesday an unnamed parliamentary source as saying that the success of Arab efforts depended on Lebanese political positions regarding the Special Tribunal for Lebanon’s (STL) pending indictment.
This comes after Saudi King Abdullah bin Abdel Aziz and Syrian President Bashar al-Assad held talks with Lebanese political leaders on Friday in a bid to calm the political situation.
Fears of renewed conflict rose in July after Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said that the tribunal was an ‘Israeli project’ and that it would indict members of his party in the 2005 assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.
“Real results have not been achieved yet since the Arab leaders’ visit to Lebanon temporarily defused tension, but the final solution is through national dialogue which has not begun yet,” the source also said, adding that a suitable solution to the current crisis is in the hands of Lebanese and not in the ones of Arab and regional figures.
