Cabinet decision of March 2

A cabinet decision declaring Hezbollah's military wing an outlawed organization. Hezbollah demands its repeal; the presidency refuses.

The cabinet decision of March 2 declares Hezbollah's military wing an outlawed organization, part of pressure to implement exclusive state control over weapons. It rests on the government's authority over general security policy, and supporters call it a step toward extending state authority. Hezbollah rejects it and conditions dialogue with the presidency on its repeal, while the presidency says repeal is not possible because the state is committed to exclusive control of weapons.
