Shehayeb: We Had Reservations on Use of ‘in Principle’ in STL Clause
National Struggle Front MP Akram Shehayeb stated on Thursday that the new majority proved many sides wrong when it formed a government.
He said during the parliament session to discuss the cabinet policy statement: “We question the release of the indictment in the Special Tribunal for Lebanon simultaneously with the release of the policy statement.”
“We did have reservations on the term ‘in principle’ in the STL clause, but we still want to achieve justice and exit the vicious circle we’ve been running in for years,” he declared.
“This is a government for all Lebanese,” he stated.
“We should put an end to accusations of treasons and others of spite and vengeance,” the MP said.
“We called for dialogue to address the people’s concerns, maintain peace, and avert strife and we should all work on maintaining Lebanon’s historic path of freedom and equality,” Shehayeb said.
“We have stressed the importance of stability and justice and that civil peace is more important than all else,” the MP added.
Furthermore, he stressed that National Struggle Front leader MP Walid Jumblat’s positions helped save Lebanon from several dangers.
He concluded by granting the cabinet confidence.
