Hezbollah vowed to keep things calm at least until August end, report says

Hezbollah is not against a vote in Cabinet on disarming it, local MTV news channel said, adding that according to its sources, the group is against setting a timetable for its disarmament.

Cabinet had tasked this month the army with developing a plan to disarm Hezbollah by year end and tackled a U.S. proposal that includes a timetable for Hezbollah's disarmament.

The cabinet endorsed the introduction of the U.S. text, which lists 11 objectives including to "ensure the sustainability" of the ceasefire, and to phase out "the armed presence of all non-state actors, including Hezbollah" across all Lebanese territory.

Hezbollah said it would not accept any timetable on handing over its weapons to the Lebanese state while Israeli strikes continue.

MTV reported Wednesday that the Lebanese army and Hezbollah have been in contact and both want to avoid an internal conflict. It claimed that Hezbollah has vowed not to resort to street action and to keep things calm at least until the end of August.

On the other hand, the relation between Hezbollah and President Joseph Aoun has been severed, MTV said.
