Hizbullah Deputy Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem on Friday called on the March 14 forces to "add to political accusation the accusation of Israel … to at least prove that we're all in Lebanon the enemies of Israel."

Qassem said that political accusation "only needs a podium and a statement," noting that "accusing Israel at least gives a positive sign that they (March 14 forces) want to reach the truth."

Hizbullah number two described the so-called false witnesses as "the real enemies of Lebanon, even if they hold Lebanese or Arab nationalities."

He stressed that "false witnesses and their fabricators" have served Israel's interest more than Tel Aviv itself expects.

"False witnesses are not a joke, a lie or an act that harmed one or two people, but they have rather harmed the whole country," Qassem added.

He stressed that "procrastination" in tackling the false witnesses issue "will never be of use."

"Tackling the issue has become now the cabinet's responsibility, and during next week it will be settled, and we hope for a speedy investigation and effective mechanisms that make us reach results as quick as possible, especially that the indications that point at false witnesses and their fabricators are clear to everyone," Qassem added.

"The names are known and the individuals are known, and those lurking in dark rooms are also known. We don't want to resort to public information, but we rather want the investigation to take the course that truly unveils them."

Qassem called on the U.N.-backed probe into the murder of ex-PM Rafik Hariri to "summon Israeli leaders, Mossad agents and individuals," stressing that "they won't dare, because it's required that Israel remain outside the circle" of accusation.
