“After a year, the Americans and Syrians will reach an understanding and Lebanon will virtually be awarded to Syria,” Tawhid Movement leader Wiam Wahhab told LBC on Monday.
Wahhab added that Prime Minister Saad Hariri’s interview with As-Asharq al-Awsat newspaper published Monday was both unsurprising and courageous.
Hariri said that false witnesses misled the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) and “we have evaluated mistakes that happened on our side with Syria, which harmed the Syrian people and the relationship between the two countries,”
Wahhab said, “We hope that after another five years, Saad Hariri does not tell us that he made mistakes against Hezbollah as he did with Syria,” adding that “the battle against the STL [will] continue until it is overthrown.”
The false witnesses to the STL are “journalists and other people close to Saad Hariri, as well as some judges,” Wahhab also said.
Wahhab also expressed reservations about Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun’s remarks about President Sleiman, since Sleiman “cannot do anything because he does not have the prerogatives” in the current constitutional system.
In a speech Sunday, Aoun questioned whether Sleiman had done anything since his inauguration “besides weeping.” -NOW Lebanon
