Lebanese media reports that the cabinet session discussing the disarmament of Hezbollah was suspended after five ministers —representing Hezbollah, its ally the Amal Movement, and an independent Shiite minister — walked out in protest.
However, Lebanese Information Minister Paul Morcos announces afterward that the government approved the list of objectives presented on the first page of the American mediator’s proposal to Lebanon, which includes keeping all weapons under state control and disarming groups operating outside state structures, including Hezbollah.
