Gemayel: Hizbullah's Approach Has Become Well-Known, Indictment Not End of Road
Phalange Party leader Amin Gemayel on Sunday stressed that "Hizbullah's approach has become well-known – an approach of dictation and intimidation."
Hizbullah "wants all initiatives to be in service of its interests," Gemayel told Voice of Lebanon Radio.
"Let them remember our martyrs before they try to threaten us," the former Lebanese president added, noting that "Hizbullah's approach aims to torpedo the (Special) Tribunal (for Lebanon), without suggesting any alternatives."
However, Gemayel stressed that the anticipated indictment the STL is expected to issue in the near future was "not the end of the road," noting that it will be thoroughly scrutinized.
"It is important that the indictment be issued, and if the Lebanese State was not able to implement the ruling and arrest the accused, an international verdict will be issued, and it will be a sword hanging over their heads and they will be prisoners even without a prison," Gemayel warned.
He reiterated his belief that Hizbullah and its allies were staging a "coup."
"The coup is being put into practice everyday through crippling measures, such as the campaign against the president and the premier in addition to the issue of false witnesses. Everything happening is an attempt at changing the face of Lebanon," Gemayel claimed.
