The Lebanese militant and political movement “Hezbolla” says he will ignore the decision of Lebanon’s government on the assignment of the army to create a state monopoly on weapons.
“We will consider this decision as if it does not exist,” Hezbollah said in a statement on Wednesday, calling him a “serious sin”.
The comments come despite the intensification of international pressure to make the group disarm.
The Iranian group was significantly degraded in last year’s war with Israel, but still refused to abandon Arsenal, despite calls from the US and internal rivals.
Hatsbala also said the decision of the Lebanese office to try to ask for supplies and production of weapons to state forces was the result of the American “diktats”.
It adds that it was open to the dialogue and discussion of the “national security strategy”, but not “in the context of aggression.”
On Tuesday, Lebanon’s office asked the military to submit a plan that will allow all weapons under the control of the state by the end of the year.
The plan should be submitted in the office by the end of this month for discussion and approval, press minister Navaf Salaf said at a press conference after a six-hour meeting of the Cabinet.
In June, US officials presented a roadmap with Lebanese authorities, who offered full disarmament of Hezbollah in exchange for Israel, stopping strikes and withdrawing troops from five places in South Lebanon, despite the ceasefire deals.
Group leader Naim Kassy on television address, while a meeting of the cabinet is conducted, Hezbollah would not discuss “weapons”, while Israeli attacks continued, accusing Israel of violating the ceasefire conditions. Israel says his attacks are to prevent overload and hezbollah overload.
Despite the weakened status, Hezbollah still enjoys considerable support among the Lebanon-Muslim population, as well as discussions over its disarmament, which increases tensions in the country where many still remember the 1975-1990 civil war.
