Haaretz Predicts: Lebanon Will Face Grave Political Crisis!

Hussein Assi

19/07/2010 After all its "tools" have failed in achieving the goal of seeking sedition and creating tension in Lebanon, the Israeli enemy is focusing these days on the verdict expected to be released by the Special Tribunal for Lebanon as its "rescuer."

Israeli daily Haaretz offered on Monday the "best interpretation" of the tension's predictions made by Israeli Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi a few days ago, announcing that Lebanon will face a grave political crisis as the STL is set to accuse Hezbollah of involvement in the assassination of former Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri, confirming that the STL is nothing but an Israeli project as stated by Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah in his last speech.

According to Haaretz, the prosecutor's findings, which are expected to include the names of those involved in the killing of Hariri (whose son Saad Hariri is the current Lebanese prime minister), will apparently be released in September or by the end of the year at the latest.

However, what interests Haaretz is that the expected findings could mark the end of the coalition between Saad Hariri, Rafiq Hariri's son and current Lebanese premier, and Hezbollah.

Evenmore, Haaretz claimed that the findings could also make it difficult for Hezbollah to maintain its close alliance with the head of the Change and Reform parliamentary bloc MP Michel Aoun, which would threaten Lebanon with a grave political crisis.

Speaking about "troubles" faced by Hezbollah during the last stage, the Israeli daily couldn't but admit that in the military sphere, there is no force in Lebanon that poses a great threat to Hezbollah. "Lebanese Druze leader Walid Jumblatt has turned from an enemy of Hezbollah into an ally and General Aoun embraces Hezbollah publicly at every opportunity," the daily "regrettably" noticed.

Yet, there's some hope looming in the horizon. "In the event that information is released that includes proof of Hezbollah's involvement in the Hariri killing, this support will no doubt be dropped," it said, with a "dream" tone. "

In its place, calls to disarm and dismantle Hezbollah, the last armed militia in Lebanon, will only grow stronger," the Israeli daily pretended.
