According to al-Hayat newspaper sources officials are studying the possibility of holding a meeting between Premier Saad Hariri, Syrian President Bashar Assad and Hezbollah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.

In an article published on Wednesday al-Hayat reported that the meeting is one of the suggestions made to resolve the differences among Lebanese politicians over the findings of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon .

Others sources said that bilateral talks between Hariri and Nasrallah could be held without the presence of any Arab leader , specially since the PM has been calling for calm and dialogue in his latest statement.

Several parties advised Nasrallah to intensify contacts with Hariri because dialogue is the only way to avoid strife in the country, the sources added.

STL was formed by the United Nations security council to try the killers of the former Lebanese PM

A July 20 report in the pro-Syrian newspaper, Al Safir revealed that Hezbollah members will be indicted by STL in the assassination of Hariri.

In his speech on Thursday July 22, Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah admitted that some of his party members would be named in the tribunal’s formal charges but stressed that he will reject the indictments . In an another speech on Friday July 16 he questioned the STL’s credibility, calling it an “Israeli project” designed to create sectarian strife in the country.

Nasrallah’s speeches created tension not seen since May 2008 when Hezbollah occupied western Beirut and tried (but failed ) to occupy Mt Lebanon following the cabinet’s decision on May 5 to outlaw Hezbollah’s private telcom network and the relocation of an airport officer who was closely associated with Hezbollah. The officer Brig. Gen. Wafiq Shoucair was accused of being behind the intelligence that led to the assassination of several Lebanese anti-Syrian leaders including former MP Gebran Tueni and Minister Pierre Gemayel.

Poor Saad, he has to deal and please and protect the murderers of the his own father. These murderers will never accept an impartial justice which will convict them. Saad is in a very difficult position, knowing that the Hizb is armed and can cause civil strife at any time….
So basically justice is never going to be served because the murderers are armed and threaten to the country with these arms.

What a sad end to the Hariri tragedy…

Constantine,

As sad as it may seem to you, it is not as bad as it feels or it looks. I will not get into STL and who did it in this post but below is something that can play successfuly into the future.

This also an open letter to dear Mr. Hariri:

What has been lost has been lost; One day will come again when the middle east somehow will achieve peace (maybe after the war of wars, or maybe not, cause does not matter here)

My point is this. The way Mr. Hariri plays this could gain him a lot of popularity now and incrementally increasing into the future as other sects see the good from it. Popularity from all sects of Lebanon and not just sunni. Can you do the right thing Mr. Hariri? I believe you can.

One day will come when there is peace in the middle east. One day will come when Lebanon’s economy and tourism will boon. One day will come when Lebanese will be more open minded and more educated. One day will come when they will realize that you are their natural choice Mr. Hariri. You are educated, well liked in manners, good looking, respectable, and have charisma. Your hands are not bloody like the rest. Please keep them that way too.

In the meantime it is very critical that you play it right. And that starts by not alienating the Shia of Lebanon. Actually by not alienating anyone who is on their side either (Aoun, Jumblatt, Franjieh, Arslan, Karami, etc.)

So far you are on the right track and slowly becoming my hero. God bless your efforts.

The criminals must be brought to justice no matter what the price is who ever they are.Enough of forgetting the past..enough of burrying the problems so we don’t start sectarian unrest
Either we have a government or we relocate Mr. Nasrallah to the Baabda palace.

This summit between Hariri, Nasrallah, and Assad is nothing but an attempt to bullying Hariri into renouncing the STL.
I sincerely do hope he does not yield to pressure… We ALL want the TRUTH.

yeah walid? well you cant handle the truth lol.

i disagree with you bro. this meeting is for assad to tell nasrallah to calm down and bite the bullet if any indictments get handed down.

hariri will not succumb to pressure cos as he said, if the stl indicts anybody, they better have proof and thats all the lebanese want.

then we can move on past this stupid and very wasteful time in our lives.
