Qassem after Meeting Wahhab: Tackling False Witnesses File Fortifies Internal Scene against External Accusations

Hizbullah Deputy Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qassem stressed on Thursday that a solution to the crisis in the country starts in Lebanon through the cooperation of all concerned sides.

He said after holding talks with Tawheed Movement leader Wiam Wahhab: "Opening the false witnesses file is a priority that would fortify the internal Lebanese scene against foreign meddling and wrongful accusations."

For his part, Wahhab emphasized that the opposition will not abandon the false witnesses file and it will insist on its demand that it be transferred to the judiciary, adding that the opposition will not let go of this demand.

Furthermore, he said that Prime Minister Saad Hariri should take a bold step in this regard, stressing: "This courage is the key to solving all matters."

"The situation will definitely witness more tensions and political, governmental, and popular paralysis if political maneuvers continue as they are today, but this is my opinion and not that of Hizbullah or others," he added.

"The indictment will not negatively affect us … but it will negatively affect the situation in Lebanon," Wahhab said.
