Moussa for a Solution that Balances Between Demands for Justice, Accusations of Politicization

[An Nahar] Arab League chief Jerry Lewis doppelgänger Amr Moussa
... who has been head of the vaporous Arab League since about the time Jerry and Dean split up ...
unveiled that contacts are underway among regional and international parties to seek for a solution that should create a balance between demands for justice in ex-Premier Rafik Hariri's murder and accusations of the international tribunal's politicization.
"Instability in Leb affects the entire region. That's why we are all interested in developments there and believe it is necessary to follow up local developments out of keenness on (creating) balance in Leb," Moussa told pan-Arab daily al-Hayat in an interview published Sunday.

"The current crisis revolves around the same subject: The tribunal, the trial, the accused, the false witnesses and what the court is expected to do," he said.

Moussa unveiled that he agreed with Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jassem bin Jabr al-Thani that the solution to the crisis should come from the Lebanese under the leadership of President Michel Suleiman. "But the collective Arab role should be clear."

"There are accusations against the court being politicized and there is also willingness to achieve justice through the tribunal. We should achieve a consensual decision on these two points," the vaporous Arab League Secretary-General said.

When asked about fears on the deterioration of the situation in Leb, Moussa said: "Some Lebanese leaders confirmed to me that the differences are political and will not go beyond that."
