Local Editor
Head of the "National Struggle Front" MP Walid Jumblatt pointed out that "he shares the PM-designate Najib Mikati his worries on the crucial course of events in Lebanon, embodied in the attempts of some international sides to obtain a UN international resolution under Chapter 7. In a statement to As-Safir newspaper, Jumblatt said "Some aim at impeding the PM-designate Najib Mikati no matter what it takes, and they resort to all methods and means so that he (Mikati) would not succeed."
In this context, Jumblatt reiterated "No one should forget that Resolution 1559 put Lebanon to some extent under international tutelage."

In his statement published on Firday, Jumblatt wondered "Why has the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) suddenly asked for the fingerprints of four million Lebanese and all phone call data in Lebanon since 2004? Why are they demanding all that? Do they want to put Lebanon under complete international tutelage?"
Ministers did well not to respond to STL Prosecutor-General Daniel Bellemare's reported requests for such information, he said.
