Nasrallah Slams Bitar over Diab Move, Urges Govt. Formation
Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah on Sunday launched a fresh attack on the lead investigative judge into the port blast case, this time over the latter’s subpoenaing of caretaker PM Hassan Diab.
“If Judge Bitar wants to question the prime minister, then let’s amend the constitution, and what he did is a rejected violation of the constitution,” Nasrallah said in a televised address.
“We call on the judicial authorities to intervene,” he added.
Nasrallah also again accused Bitar of “practicing politicization” and managing the case in a “selective” way.
Turning to the stalled government formation process, Hizbullah’s leader said: “Unfortunately, all the blood and pain have not pushed the officials to finalize the government's formation.”
“The government's formation is the main gateway for resolving the crisis,” he said.
“The claims that we are awaiting the Vienna talks are ridiculous,” he added.
“It's about time the discussion of the ministerial portfolios ended in order to form the government,” Nasrallah urged.
As for the issue of the Iranian fuel ships, Nasrallah announced that the Iranians will load a third ship to send it to Lebanon.
“The days are coming and the facts will appear regarding the fuel-loaded ships from Iran… and the talk will be clear when the first ship arrives,” Nasrallah said.
