Qassem Accuses Majority of Maintaining Deadlock
Shiekh Naim Qassem: They do not want the tribunal, they want to control Lebanon.
Hizbullah's Deputy Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qassem accused pro-government forces of rejecting all overtures from the opposition aimed at resolving the current crisis and accused them of using the international tribunal to hide their true intentions. "The central point of this crisis and the path to a solution is participation, they claim it is the court. They hide behind the court to prevent us from participating in decision making. They do not want the tribunal, they want to control Lebanon," Qassem said, addressing crowds in Dahiyeh on the occasion of the prophet's birthday.
He said that some at the UN Security Council wish to create the tribunal under Chapter 7, adding that establishing the tribunal in such a way would constitute an attack on Lebanon. The tribunal would then cease to be a court to try suspects in the assassination of former premier Rafik Hariri, he added.

"What the opposition accepts today it will not accept in three months time as regional developments change," he warned.
Qassem, addressing the government, asked: "If you refuse to recognize this president then why do you recognize his signature that appointed you as ministers? Then by this logic there is no government. This could be one way this unconstitutional government falls."
