5:22Now PlayingHezbollah has locked horns with the Lebanese government over its bid to centralise control of arms. The group has claimed that the move could give a free rein to Israel to launch attacks on Lebanon.
On Tuesday, the government tasked its army with drafting a comprehensive plan for arms restriction and bringing all weapons under the country’s control. The army has been asked to present the plan by the end of the year. It is believed that the move is aimed at stripping Hezbollah of its weapons and eliminating its fighting capabilities. Hezbollah and Amal political leaders opposed the decision and walked out of the cabinet session held at the presidential palace in Baabda. They accused Lebanon’s Prime Minister Nawaf Salam of acting on behalf of the US and Israel in crippling Lebanon's offensive capabilities. The move comes as the government is under immense international pressure—especially from the US—to disarm Hezbollah following its 3-month war with Israel.
In July, the US envoy to Lebanon, Tom Barrack, met Lebanese President Joseph Aoun and expressed satisfaction regarding Lebanon’s plan to disarm Hezbollah. Barrack had promised that America would help Lebanon emerge from its economic and political crisis. Experts claim that the US ambassador was hinting at a potential US aid to the Lebanese Army if Hezbollah resists disarmament.
