Beirut, Lebanon
Lebanese president is expected to continue to negotiate with Parliament on Monday, which would be the next prime minister - an important step for the assembly of his government after the collapse of two weeks ago.
national unity government in Lebanon collapsed when ministers loyal to Hezbollah office. It was the investigation of a UN-backed tribunal in the 2005 assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri. The court largely to blame Hezbollah for the killing.
Meanwhile, Hezbollah will know who supported for the post of prime minister on Monday and will not "pressure" by the investigation of the international tribunal, its chief said on Sunday.
Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, it seemed certain that the caretaker Prime Minister Saad Hariri, son of the assassinated prime minister should be replaced with a new government.
Hariri has remained as caretaker prime minister at the request of Lebanese President Michel Suleiman.
On Monday, the press service of Mr. Hariri, issued a statement saying he now refuses to participate in a government "led by the opposition candidate."
I'm talking about al-Manar television channel of Hezbollah on Sunday, Nasrallah has pledged to support the movement for national unity and said the international community should provide a new manager in the same context, gave Hariri.
"If a candidate gets up, which is supported by the opposition, I hope people will respect the majority of Lebanese," he said.
"In recent days, governments and states have said they respect the legitimacy of Lebanon, they will meet the majority of the Lebanese people to respect the constitutional institutions of Lebanon," Nasrallah said. But if Hariri loses office Nasrallah said: "Will we still hear the same words to them, or will we hear anything else?"
Nasrallah floated the name of former Prime Minister Omar Karami, as a substitute in his speech, Karami said, but rejected his proposal.
Hezbollah withdrew its support for the government of Hariri earlier this month because of Hariri's cooperation with the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, which is expected to blame the members of the Shiite militant group in connection with the murder of Rafik Hariri.
This provision, which followed the collapse of the government of Mr. Hariri, Hezbollah has won the support of the Druze leader Walid Jumblatt - a kingmaker in the longstanding political divide in Lebanon.
Jumblatt said on Friday that the Court "went beyond the right to become a political bazaar, and the tension in the market."
11 parliamentary seats for his Progressive Socialist Party holds 128 seats in the parliament could play a crucial role in the new coalition.
Nasrallah said he would deny their views on the court until a decision is announced, a decision expected within six to 10 weeks. However, he urged Hezbollah's domestic rivals do not use pending a decision "to serve their political objectives."
Under the peace agreement that ended the 15-year civil war in Lebanon in 1990, the Iranian-backed Hezbollah militia in Lebanon is the only political group at issue may be armed. The clashes between the group and the Lebanese authorities in 2008 brought the dawn of a new civil war.
The United States considers Hezbollah, which has close ties with Iran and Syria, a terrorist organization. The group is a political party and a leading provider of social services in Lebanon, in addition to operating a militant wing.
