Hezbollah and its Shiite ally, the Amal Movement led by Speaker Nabih Berri, vowed Monday to stand by Syria and Iran against U.S. and Israeli threats to attack the two countries.
A joint statement issued after a meeting of the Hezbollah and Amal commands in the eastern city of Baalbek said that the current turmoil in Syria was part of an “international conspiracy” targeting Damascus for its support for Arab and Muslim resistance movements in the region.
The statement came amid mounting international pressures on Iran over its controversial nuclear program and against Syria over its brutal crackdown on an eight-month popular uprising demanding a regime change.

“I am honored to visit a country of such great cultural and legal traditions,” Baragwanath said, according to a statement released by the STL. “The tribunal’s judges consider themselves not just international judges, but also judges of Lebanon, applying the criminal law of Lebanon and respectful of its sovereignty and its people. I am determined that the work of the tribunal be fair and expeditious, with full respect of the rights of the accused and the interests of the victims.”

A source close to Mikati told The Daily Star Sunday the prime minister, who who is under mounting local and international pressure to fund the STL, is speeding efforts to have the Cabinet decide on the issue of paying Lebanon’s share to the tribunal’s budget.
Hezbollah and its March 8 allies staunchly oppose the STL altogether, let alone funding it.
Nasrallah said last month that Hezbollah is entirely against the STL’s funding and called for a vote within the Cabinet if no agreement was reached among the ministers on the contentious issue.
Since Hezbollah and its March 8 allies have a majority in Mikati’s 30-man Cabinet and can block any decision, Nasrallah’s declaration effectively dashes any hope for the government to approve the payment of Lebanon’s share to the STL’s funding.
