- BEIRUT: Prime Minister Najib Mikati said Lebanon has financed its portion of a UN-backed court investigating the death of statesman Rafik Al-Hariri, resolving months of political wrangling that threatened to bring down the government.
“Keeping my commitment to not be the prime minister who reneges on Lebanon’s international obligations ... I sent Lebanon’s portion of the funding for the Special Tribunal for Lebanon this morning,” Mikati said in a speech on live television.
