BEIRUT: Lebanese Forces head Samir Geagea slammed Hezbollah's leader Friday, saying Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah had failed to adhere to agreements arrived at during previous national dialogue sessions and accused the resistance group of committing crimes both during times of war and peace.

“Hezbollah was never serious about dialogue even when we agreed on the issue of the international tribunal in the last dialogue session,” Geagea, who spoke on the occasion of the launch of the LF party’s charter in Maarab, north-east of Beirut, said.

“Hezbollah agreed to it [the international tribunal] but never committed to it,” Geagea added.

During national dialogue sessions in 2006, Hezbollah agreed to establish an international tribunal to probe the 2005 assassination of the five-time prime minister but later rejected the court, which would be established under the name of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon in 2007. The court was established under Chapter 7 of the United Nations Security Council.

In 2010, Hezbollah-backed March 8 coalition ministers also boycotted national dialogue sessions over disputes on the subject of the U.N.-backed court. In another related dispute in early 2011, March 8 ministers resigned from the Cabinet headed by Hariri’s son – former Prime Minister Saad Hariri, forcing its collapse.

Four members of Hezbollah were indicted by the STL in June 2011.

In a televised speech Thursday, Nasrallah left the door open to a resumption of dialogue with the March 14 alliance but said talks should launch without conditions.

Nasrallah also accused the March 14 coalition of arming and financing the Syrian opposition against President Bashar Assad’s government, saying that such actions destabilized Lebanon.

Geagea, a leading figure in the March 14 coalition, said Hezbollah’s weapons alone threatened the country’s stability.

“Are we the ones involving Lebanon in crises? The ones doing this are the ones wielding power outside the jurisdiction of the Lebanese state,” Geagea said, in a clear reference to Hezbollah.

“What we [March 14 coalition] are doing is giving a political, ethical opinion,” Geagea added.

The LF leader also said that Nasrallah focused solely on the “Zionist project,” which he said clouded the Hezbollah chief’s judgments, particularly when it came to the issue of Syria.

Nasrallah, Syria’s key ally in Lebanon, has repeatedly defended Assad and mirrored Damascus’s version of events in the tightly controlled state, namely that Syria is confronting foreign-backed fighter seeking to end Assad’s rule for his support of resistance groups and his anti-Israel stances.

“Sayyed Hasan believes that all the countries [that voted for a resolution on Syria at the U.N. General Assembly] are at fault ... this is a true popular movement which began due to certain demands and needs,” Geagea said.

“Has Hasan Nasrallah seen the videos of buildings collapsing in Syrian neighborhoods? The footage reminded me of Israeli strikes against Gaza,” he added.

Geagea also defended his actions, both past and present, after Nasrallah mocked the LF leader saying that he was the last person to condemn “massacres” in Syria.

“If all the accusations against us about what we allegedly did during the [Lebanese 1975-90 Civil War] were true then they would be worth just one drop in the sea of crimes committed by Hezbollah during the war and in times of peace,” Geagea said.

During his speech Thursday commemorating the death of leading resistance figures, Nasrallah also scoffed at remarks by March 14 politicians that the 2005 “Cedar Revolution” served as the foundation for the uprising witnesses in the last two years.

Geagea defended the “Cedar Revolution” and said it had forced the withdrawal of Syrian troops from Lebanon and had provided a mode for the “Arab Spring.”

“No one [but the people] overthrew [former President Hosni] Mubarak in Egypt but we provided an example to follow,” Geagea said.
