BEIRUT: Former Prime Minister Saad Hariri said Monday nothing could stop the course of the court probing the assassination of his father, statesman Rafik Hariri.
“They know, all the Lebanese people know that the court’s work will go on,” the Future Movement leader said.
He also said that for national dialogue sessions to resume, the issue of non-state weapons, namely Hezbollah’s, should be the sole item on the agenda of discussions.
“Dialogue should only discuss one principle issue: that is of the weapons [of Hezbollah] given that there is division on this matter and the case of [Hezbollah’s arms] has nothing to do with the Shiite sect,” Hariri said.
“We agreed in the last round of national dialogue on many issues, including disarmament of Palestinian camps, but nothing has been done,” he added.
“We want a serious dialogue for the interest of the Lebanese, in the south, north and Beirut. We are not against dialogue and we were not the ones who rejected dialogue,” he said.
