Prime Minister Saad Hariri’s political advisor, Mohammad Chatah, told MTV on Monday that neither the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) nor Hezbollah is infallible.
“If the STL is making mistakes, although it is not likely, it will resolve them,” Chatah said.
He also said that the Saudi-Syrian rapprochement is a primary and positive factor for Lebanon’s stability.
Tension is high in the country after reports said the STL will soon issue its indictment, in which Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah recently claimed Hezbollah members would be named, in the 2005 assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.
The announcement prompted fears that a sectarian conflict similar to the May 7 events in 2008 could once again break out.
Saudi King Abdullah bin Abdel Aziz and Syrian President Bashar al-Assad visited Beirut last Friday in a bid to calm the political situation. The two Arab leaders participated in a summit in Baabda with President Michel Sleiman.
