The March 14-led opposition rejected turning the parliament and constitutional institutions into platforms from which Hizbullah launches campaigns against the international tribunal, the coalition’s sources said.

The sources told An Nahar daily published Friday that Hizbullah was using the state institutions to defend the four suspects that the Special Tribunal for Lebanon indicted in ex-Premier Rafik Hariri’s Feb. 2005 assassination.

March 14-led opposition lawyers are expected to hold a press conference next week to snap back at Loyalty to the Resistance bloc MP Mohammed Raad, An Nahar daily reported Thursday.

On Tuesday, Raad accused Israel and the U.S. of drafting the indictment published by the Special Tribunal for Lebanon. It accuses four Hizbullah members in ex-Premier Rafik Hariri’s Feb. 2005 assassination case.

The head of the Loyalty to the Resistance bloc MP Mohammed Raad slammed on Tuesday the indictment in the Special Tribunal for Lebanon as “fake”, accusing the investigation of being politicized in order to target the Resistance.

He said in a press conference to refute the indictment: “The Resistance will determine the way it will defend itself from the indictment and tribunal.”

President Michel Suleiman is scheduled to travel to Monaco on Thursday on a four-day official visit, al-Liwaa daily reported.

The newspaper also said that Suleiman held separate talks with Hizbullah MP Mohammed Raad and Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea after the Iftar banquet he threw in honor of politicians and clergymen last Thursday.

President Michel Suleiman condemned on Monday the terrorist attacks in Norway, attributing them to the loss of family values.

On an electoral law for the 2013 parliamentary elections, he stated: “It’s important for a country like Lebanon to prepare laws that allow youths to escape the clutches of sectarianism, starting with the adoption of proportional representation in elections.”

Head of Hizbullah’s Loyalty to Resistance parliamentary bloc, MP Mohammed Raad, stressed Sunday “the Resistance’s readiness to perform its duty.”

“We’re not the side entitled to demarcate our territorial waters, the (Lebanese) State is rather the side entitled to do that, but should this maritime zone come under any threat, danger or attack from the Israeli enemy, the Resistance will be ready to perform its duty,” Raad vowed.

The head of the Loyalty to the Resistance bloc MP Mohammed Raad stated on Tuesday that the government advocated the “equation of victory of the army, people, and Resistance.”

He added: “The enemy and its masters want to target the Resistance because it represents what is left of dignity in this world.”

MP Mohammed Raad, head of Hizbullah’s Loyalty to Resistance parliamentary bloc, on Sunday noted that the indictment and the arrest warrants recently released by the Special Tribunal for Lebanon against four Hizbullah members in the assassination of ex-PM Rafik Hariri were “aimed at ensnaring the Resistance by holding it responsible for a crime that was committed in Lebanon and the Resistance was the first to be negatively affected by its impact.”

“Those who had endured your global war in 2006 will be easily able to endure your latest lie – the indictment. And the same as your goals had failed in the 2006 war, the repercussions of this lie will fail and will fire back at you and at everyone who has been involved with you in plotting conspiracies and fabricating rumors,” Raad added.

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.”

The head of the Loyalty to the Resistance bloc MP Mohammed Raad linked on Saturday the release of the indictment in the investigation into the assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri to the formation of the new government.

“They were surprised with the cabinet lineup and they consequently had not choice but to release the indictment,” he said during an academic gathering.
