Former Lebanese Minister Wadei Al Khazen expressed that former US Ambassador to UN John Bolton's stance concerning the indictment, confirms the escalating nature of the indictment, which bargains on triggering conflict between the Lebanese.

Al Khazen criticized Bolton's expectations that the Special Tribunal for Lebanon's (STL) indictment will not only accuse Hizbullah members, but also Syrian officials, adding that Iran could be included in the accusations.

Former Minister Al Khazen referred that Bolton showed clear the "Israeli" wager planned to trigger conflict between the Sunni and Shiite sects, not only in Lebanon, but in the whole region and globe.

Al Khazen affirmed that if "Israel" bargains on the indictment to trigger conflict, then the Saudi-Syrian efforts bargain on helping the Lebanese leaders to help them confront the enemy.

On his part, former MP Faysal Dawoud believed that former US Ambassador to the UN John Bolton's stance confirmed the US aim to sabotage any resolution of the Lebanese crisis.

Dawoud referred that what Bolton said, regarding an upcoming war, and that the indictment will accuse Hizbullah and Syrian officials, reveals the US interference in the STL and inte indictment.

Former MP Dawoud called upon confronting the STL for being exploited to cover the truth, in addition to trigger incitements.

On another hand, Development and Liberation Bloc MP Qassem Hashem said that John Bolton's stance confirms the indictment and STL to be American, and serves the US aggressive schemes in the Lebanon and the region.
