Hariri: Miqati Will Only Resign if He Feels His Boss is About to Fall
Former premier Saad Hariri on Sunday said that Prime Minister Najib Miqati would only resign when he “feels his boss is about to fall.”
Asked by a Twitter user on whether he would ally with Miqati in the 2013 polls if the premier resigned over possible inability to secure the funding of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon by his government, Hariri said: “No.”
“If Miqati resigns, it will be only, AND ONLY, because he feels his boss is about to fall,” Hariri tweeted in English.
“Justice will prevail, (the) tribunal has begun its work and soon we will see the criminals behind bars,” Hariri said.
He denied that he was “waiting for the (Syrian) regime to fall” in order to return to Lebanon, noting that he will return to the country “sooner than later.”
Asked how would the March 14 camp respond if Hizbullah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah “took Lebanon to war to protect Syria or Iran,” Hariri said: “That's called suicide and I doubt he will.”
Asked whether he believed Hizbullah and its allies would resort to military action against fellow Lebanese to “support the Syrian regime,” the former premier said: “No i don't think so and if they do they will be committing suicide.”
He also noted that Miqati’s government would “help” embattled Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in the event of a foreign military intervention in Syria.
