"Israel" is depending on Special Tribunal for Lebanon's (STL) indictment, which so far has been known, through all media leaks, that it will be accusing Hizbullah of former PM Rafiq Hariri's assassination.

The "Israeli" intention was revealed through several stances by Zionist officials on the STL performance, where the latest comment was by former head of the "Israeli" foreign affairs and defense committee Tsahi Hanegbi.

Hanegbi in his statement hoped that the STL would take use of accusing and holding Hizbullah accountable, in addition to not wasting the chance in achieving the Arab efforts aiming at a settlement with "Israel" without having to confront Hizbullah.

According to Hanegbi, "Israel" is concerned with having the international community being able to try Hariri's assassinators, adding that the most important is to have Hizbullah situated in the International Trial as a terrorist party, which he claimed had assassinated a loved and popular leader in Lebanon.

The "Israeli" official considered that the restraints which will be imposed on Hizbullah after accusing it of Hariri's assassination will weaken it on the short and long period, since "Israel" is bargaining on the STL to achieve so.

Tsahi Hanegbi also added that Tel Aviv has to be worried from the claimed pressures Hizbullah is practicing on Saad Hariri to keep the statuesque.

In the same context, Oded Granot, "Israeli" Channel One's Arab Affairs expert considered that if the pressure played by Hizbullah prevented the indictment's issuance, then Hizbullah would become more powerful, and that is what "Israel" should be worried from; the increase of Hizbullah's power.

Stances and opinions revealed that not one side will be able to prevent the indictment's issuance, or the trying of accused elements, even if in absence, adding that Hizbullah's reaction to the indictment refers to the harm that the STL will cause it.
