Newspapers: Israel is behind assassination of Hariri
Lebanon-Israel, Politics, 2/18/2005

Newspapers from around the world on Thursday raised accusation fingers to Israel regarding the assassination of Lebanese Prime Minister Rafic Hariri.

Turkish "Yeni Asya" Newspaper said that Israel is involved, directly or indirectly, in the assassination of Hariri.

"Israel involvement in the crime is a fait accompli, it doesn't need a fortune-teller to inform reality," the Newspaper added in an article published on Thursday.

In Prague, "Bravo" Newspaper said in an analysis that the history of the Middle East tells that Israel was behind all assassination acts which were carried out against Arab figures.

In Paris, L'Humanite Newspaper, for its part, said that Israel could be behind murdering Hariri, stressing that Israel has an interest in the crime, namely to be far away from the resumption of peace process which Syria repeatedly called for.

Meanwhile, Deputy Kuwaiti Premier Mohammad Sharar strongly denied involvement of any Arab party into the killing of Hariri. "Assassinating Hariri is considered an assassination of peace, security and stability in Lebanon," Sharar told the UAE al-Khaleej Newspaper, adding that settling political disputes like this way is a condemned terrorism.
