Lebanon’s top prosecutor charges Beirut blast Judge Tarek Bitar

Justice must be served for the victims of the port blast, even in the face of Hezbollah's intimidation tactics and constant interference. Hezbollah and its allies have absolutely no evidence that the investigation is biased, and their unending attacks suggest that they are fully aware that the inquiry, if undertaken, will find that Hezbollah-allied officials were fully complicit in the destruction of Beirut. The international community must continue to pressure the terrorist group, and the political class that it protects, to allow the investigation to continue.
Though supporters of the investigation say they only care about the victims of the port blast, in reality, the whole inquiry is simply means to an end for the US and its European allies who want to pressure and attack the resistance. Bitar is a pro-Western pawn doing the bidding of foreign imperial powers that want to see Lebanon show subservience to Western interests. Thankfully, Hezbollah and the resistance as a whole are stronger than the Western agents abusing Lebanon's legal system.
