In an interview with Sada al-Balad newspaper published on Sunday, Loyalty to the Resistance bloc MP Nawwar Sahili said that the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) will not harm Hezbollah, adding that those who want to use the tribunal to target the party will be harmed themselves.
Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said in July that the STL is an Israeli project designed to target Hezbollah by stirring up sectarian strife in Lebanon.
“What concerns us is the country’s unity and interests,” the MP also said, adding that Hezbollah does not fear the tribunal.
Sahili said that Hezbollah will reveal the names of those involved in the matter of false witnesses in the investigation of the 2005 assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri when the time is right. “Revealing the names at an inappropriate time would not lead to the desired aim, which is to maintain Lebanon’s unity,” he added.
Commenting on Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblatt’s expectation that Israel would wage a military attack against Lebanon this month, Sahili said that he does not think it is true.
