A Christian meeting held in Bkirki under Patriarch Nasrallah Sfeir on Friday declared Lebanon in "grave danger" and called on the International Community to implement its commitments toward it.

The meeting included officials from the March 14 coalition and independent figures.

The March 14 Secretariat General condemned on Wednesday the "intimidation campaign against the Lebanese that called them to boycott the Special Tribunal for Lebanon and the international investigators."

It said in a statement after its weekly meeting: "Those behind this campaign believe they can force the Lebanese to back down from their principles and surrender to Hizbullah's conditions, which is the side leading this campaign."

Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea ruled out the possibility that Hizbullah would resort to violence if the indictment would accuse some of its members.

He told the Kuwaiti al-Anbaa newspaper to be published on Thursday: "The party will only reap negative repercussions from violence and it will not yield a single positive outcome."

The National Dialogue is set to resume on Thursday in the absence Phalange Party leader Amin Gemayel, Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun, Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblat, and Marada Movement leader MP Suleiman Franjieh.

Gemayel, Franjieh, and Jumblat are unable to attend because they are traveling abroad, while Aoun announced on Tuesday that the failure to hold Cabinet session on Wednesday and discuss the false witnesses file has prompted him not to participate in the National Dialogue.

The Council of Maronite Bishops on Wednesday called on the various Lebanese political leaders to quit the "challenging methods" and "put an end to doubting each other."

A statement at the end of their monthly meeting also called on Lebanese leaders to "find political, economic and social solutions" to soothe the pain of the people.

Opposition ministers are set to convene on Tuesday in order to coordinate their position over the false witnesses file that will be discussed during Wednesday’s Cabinet session.

The meeting will also be attended by the political advisors of Hizbullah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, Hajj Hussein Khalil, and House Speaker Nabih Berri, MP Ali Hasan Khalil.

Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblat noted on Tuesday that had the Special Tribunal for Lebanon been independent, countries would not be able to delay and speed up the issuing of the indictment.

He told the Syrian al-Watan newspaper: “The obvious interference lies in U.S. Permanent Ambassador to the U.N. Susan Rice’s recent statements on the STL that did not address the Dahiyeh incident, but she instead discussed arms smuggling from Syria to Hizbullah even though the issue has nothing to do with the international investigation.”

Tourism Minister Fadi Abboud stressed on Tuesday that the false witnesses file is a main part of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, and therefore it is time to address the subject with honesty and clarity.

He told LBC that several developments have taken place that made observers question the STL’s fairness and impartiality.

Hizbullah has reportedly unleashed a simulation of the zero hour aimed at holding both a security and military grip on Lebanon and corner Prime Minister Saad Hariri.

A report published Monday by al-Akhbar newspaper said that prior to Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah's Oct. 28 speech a "main Opposition group was carrying out an electronic, field simulation for the assumed zero hour."

Judge Antonio Cassese, President of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, on Friday stressed STL's "firm intention not to bow to any act of interference and intimidation in carrying out our mandate in an independent and fair manner."

In separate letters addressed to Premier Saad Hariri and U.N. chief Ban Ki Moon, Cassese conveyed the tribunal's "great concern about the incident which took place in Beirut on 27 October and resulted in the injury of STL staff and the unlawful removal of STL property."
