Qassem Hashem Accuses U.S. of Thwarting Saudi-Syrian Initiative
AMAL MP Qassem Hashem accused the U.S. of thwarting attempts by Saudi Arabia and Syria to find a solution to the Lebanese crisis and said the March 14 forces were procrastinating until the release of the indictment by the Special Tribunal for Lebanon.
"The U.S. is playing the role of obstructer to this initiative," Hashem told the Kuwaiti al-Anbaa daily in an interview published Friday. Washington "was lately ready to thwart this initiative."
The lawmaker also accused the March 14 forces of procrastination pending the American green light for international tribunal Prosecutor Daniel Bellemare to issue his indictment.
Such moves "do not serve justice and the truth" in ex-Premier Rafik Hariri's assassination, he told al-Anbaa.
He reiterated that the March 8 forces "were from the beginning seeking to rectify the court's course to reach the truth because it has been politicized for a long time."
"But it seems that the other team, which has common interests with the U.S., does not want to either achieve justice or reach the truth," Hashem added.
