Hezbollah Continues To Want It Both Ways With International Tribunal

August 26, 2010 · Mustapha Hamoui

Anonymous Hezbollah sources have told Annahar :

Our stance from the court is known. We don’t recognize it and we don’t cooperate with it,However, if the Lebanese judiciary asks for (the information), then we will cooperate with it and study the requests

What the source ignored to mention was that the Lebanese judiciary will in turn submit the required evidence to the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL)

Like I said before, Hezbollah wants to show its supporters that it’s not cooperating with the STL, but at the same time, it doesn’t want to ignore the body point blank because of various internal and external pressures. This is why Hezbollah is dealing with the STL by proxy.
