Raad: We Seek Justice, But STL is Politicized and it Won’t Uncover the Truth
The head of the Loyalty to the Resistance bloc MP Mohammed Raad stated on Thursday that the government and opposition should work together to maintain Lebanon’s national principles, despite their political differences.
He said during the parliament session aimed at discussing the cabinet policy statement: “The government is concerned with implementing the constitution and abiding by the law to resolve political disputes and address the people’s needs.”
“This is the first Lebanese government that was formed without foreign intervention and it is not a one-sided cabinet,” he stressed.
“It will be capable of presenting a national productive performance,” he declared.
“Whoever announced his boycott of the cabinet is conspiring against Lebanon,” he announced.
Addressing the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, Raad said: “It has become a tool in the hands of American-Zionist imperialism aimed at destroying the Resistance.”
“The greatest deception is linking justice to the tribunal. Whoever wants justice does not want this tribunal,” the MP stated.
“We all seek the truth, justice, and stability, but the STL will not uncover the truth and it will not achieve justice in Lebanon,” he emphasized.
“The Resistance is ready to defend the nation and wage any possible war,” Raad added.
“The equation of the army, people, and resistance fortified Lebanon’s unity and thwarted plans to take over the country,” he stressed.
Moreover, Lebanon’s diversity allows it to overcome crises and maintain national principles that are at the heart of the Lebanese system, he noted.
The MP ended his statement by granting the cabinet confidence on behalf of his parliamentary bloc.
