STL Funding To Vote, Suleiman: Lebanon to Fix STL Mistakes
One Eye does not see while the other is sleepy and wakes up only according to American - "Israeli "schedules.
International Community and legal organizations are characterized by sweet and lofty goals. However, their double standards took of all fake vests of democracy and justice.
The Zionist entity has more than two hundred nuclear warheads, do they hear or see or even account?
Of course not, this entity is far from being accused.
In the other part of the picture, the Islamic Republic of Iran announced on the lips of all its officials, including the Head of the Islamic nation Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei that Tehran is to produce nuclear energy for peaceful purposes.
But the international sleepy eye went blind and decided to warn of the giant imminent Iranian nuclear threat.
The problem is that eye, is there a way to treat it?
Berri: Dialogue a Desperate Need
In Lebanon, as the Eid's vacation closes its doors, political titles rises back to the surface on top of which are the Special Tribunal for Lebanon and national dialogue.
Lebanese House Speaker Nabih Berri stressed Wednesday that he adheres to re-launching and reviving dialogue under the auspices of President Michel Suleiman.
In an interview with "an-Nahar" Lebanese newspaper, Berri noted that "we are in desperate need for this dialogue between the Lebanese parties especially during the developments in the region and the neighboring countries."
Reporting that Berri is expected to hold a meeting Wednesday with Suleiman at Baabda palace to discuss the possibility of the resumption of the dialogue between Lebanese parties, the daily quoted House Speaker as wondering: "Is it logical that I reject dialogue when I am the one who called for it?"
"No one will be happy if developments turn for the worst in Syria. We have to study every step in order to strengthen our country and protect it from regional events," Berri explained.
For its part, "as-Safir" daily quoted Berri commenting on the Syrian developments by advising "those people who bet on the toppling of the Syrian regime to reconsider their positions and not to engage themselves and Lebanon in false bets."
Suleiman: Lebanon to Fix STL Mistakes
In parallel, President Suleiman called Lebanese parties to draw a separation line between Lebanon's commitment to the Special Tribunal for Lebanon and its work.
"If there has been any flaw or mistake as previously happened with the case of the four generals' prison, Lebanon should work on fixing that mistake," Suleiman told "al-Liwaa" newspaper.
Concerning STL funding, Suleiman said that "until now he doesn't have a final plan on solving the crisis."
"I have high hopes that the efforts exerted to resolve the issue would have positive ends," he noted.
"I don't fear of deterioration in the situation because not a single party in Lebanon has an interest in that," Suleiman emphasized.
The President also unveiled that he "held phone conversations with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad about the issue of borders' filtration and that Damascus' authorities apologized for the unintentional violations."
Mikati: STL Funding To Vote
From London, Prime Minister Najib Mikati said after talks with British Prime Minister David Cameron that he will put the issue of funding STL to vote in the government.
"The issue of funding the STL will be raised in the government in order to take the appropriate decision," Mikati said, according to a statement released by his media office Tuesday.
Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Mikati stressed the significance of protecting the current stability in Lebanon and the country's respect of UN resolutions, particularly Resolution 1701.
"Everyone knows the situation in Lebanon. The issue of funding will be put to discussion at a specific time in constitutional institutions," Mikati said.
"As-Safir" reported that Cameron expressed that the United Kingdom supported Lebanon's sovereignty, stability and independence, but stressed the significance of full implementation of Resolution 1701 and Lebanon's compliance with its commitments toward the STL.
Meanwhile, Minister of Youth and Sports Faisal Karami predicted that the government will eventually reach "a consensus to pay Lebanon's share to the STL."
Speaking to supporters at his residence in Tripoli, Karami slammed "the STL
politicized court."
"The tribunal is targeting civil peace and exposing Lebanon to danger," he said.
Bellemare: Premature to Absentia Trials
At the same level, the STL prosecutor considered that it was premature to begin the in absentia trial of the 2005 assassination of former PM Rafik Hariri demanding that Lebanese security officials could be called to give evidence in front of the Chamber.
"It is premature to initiate trial in absentia," Bellemare wrote in the document, published on the tribunal's website.
"Not enough time has been allowed for the Lebanese authorities to affect the arrests of the four accused and not enough has been done to affect the arrests because the Lebanese authorities have either been unable or unwilling to do so," he said.
At the security level, as certain domestic sides continue to spread a negative security climate and promote the possibility of assassinations and incidents, well-informed sources told "as-Safir" that these reports are fabricated for political reasons.
The sources stressed that the security situation is under control.
Meanwhile, "al-Akhbar" daily unveiled that Gulf States have set 10 million $ for the purchase of communication sophisticated equipment aiming at delivering them into opposition in Syria working against al-Assad.
