09/08/2010 All eyes are directed to the exceptional press conference to be held on Monday by Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah in which he would explicitly accuse the Israeli enemy of involvement in the assassination of former Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri.
In his last speech last week, Sayyed Nasrallah said he would provide evidence of Israel's involvement in Hariri's February 2005 killing.
In his last speech last week, Sayyed Nasrallah said he would provide evidence of Israel's involvement in Hariri's February 2005 killing.
"This coming Monday, I will hold a press conference during which I will present evidence of Israel's involvement in Hariri’s assassination and the goings-on in the international tribunal in The Hague. We will present significant proof that Israel, via its agents, tried to convince Hariri already in 1993 that Hezbollah wants to assassinate him. We blame the Israeli enemy for the assassination, and the figures I will reveal will open new horizons in the investigation that will lead to the identity of the true murderer," Sayyed Nasrallah said.
Sayyed Nasrallah declared that for the first time ever, he would be obliged to reveal one of the most important secrets related to one of the Resistance's major operations to disclose and prove the Israeli involvement in Hariri's assassination. "After the press conference, Lebanese authorities should take the initiative and seriously take into consideration the facts that will be revealed," his eminence pointed out.
According to Lebanese daily As-Safir, Sayyed Nasrallah's revelations would be a legal and political turning point in the case of Hariri's murder. It quoted informed sources as saying that the conference would open new horizons that the court could pick up and build on "if it wanted to be impartial."
Lebanese daily An-Nahar in turn quoted opposition sources as saying that Sayyed Nasrallah didn't unveil even to his closest aides what information he would provide during his press conference. Other sources, however, said that Sayyed Nasrallah's evidence would turn the course of the probe into Hariri's murder, creating a new status quo.
Hasan Nasrallah: the speech of a lifetime
Today's speech by Hasan Nasrallah is probably the second most important speech of his life (or the third after the speech he gave upon learning of his son's death, and the one after the liberation of most of South Lebanon in 2000).

Monday ..Monday ... Hezbollah to implicate Israel in Hariri assassination
"... Speaking to Ma'an on Sunday, Hezbollah spokesman Ibrahim Mousawi said that the group's leader would reveal "thunderous news" in a press conference scheduled for Monday, presenting what he called "comprehensive, revealing conclusive information" linking Israel to Hariri's 2005 assassination......Last month, the Lebanese daily Al Akhbar quoted Syrian President Bashar Assad as saying that if a finger is pointed at Hezbollah for being behind the assassination, this may result in the destruction of Lebanon. Assad said that in the past the court had blamed Syria, a claim later proven to have been baseless, but nearly destroyed Lebanon and the entire region, and now the same scenario is being repeated against Hezbollah.According to a Lebanese judicial source [most probably belonging to the pro-Israel Lebanese Forces] , the tribunal will be issuing at least two rounds of the indictments starting from September and around the end of this year...... in the first round UN prosecutor Daniel Bellemare will indict "three to five members of Hezbollah and in the second round about 20 with various ranks including some key officials."..... Bellemare was informed by Lebanese military leaders in an informal way that the Lebanese army would not arrest any members of Hezbollah party if they should be indicted...."

BETHLEHEM (Ma’an) – Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah will reveal “thunderous news” Monday revealing that Israel was behind the assassination of Lebanese Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri, a party official said Saturday.
Hezbollah spokesman Ibrahim Mousawi told Ma’an that the evidence would be “comprehensive, revealing conclusive information” implicating Israel in the car bombing that killed Hariri in 2005.
A UN special tribunal set up to investigate the assassination will reportedly blame Hezbollah. Reports suggest that the tribunal will announce its findings before the end of 2010.
Speaking to reporters last Tuesday, Nasrallah said a Hezbollah team spent months compiling information on what he described as Israeli efforts to implicate the Shiite movement.
Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad and Saudi Arabian King Abdullah met in July with Lebanon’s President Michel Suleiman in an effort to diffuse the mounting political tension over possible indictments over the assassination.
