The message came after a cabinet meeting that dealt with the disarmament of the Shia militia Hizbollah. The plan is to be ready by the turn of the year.
At the same time, Hizbollah's leader Naim Qassem says that the Shia militia refuses to accept a timetable for handing over its weapons to the Lebanese government as long as the Israeli attacks continue.
Any timetable that is proposed for introduction under ... Israeli aggression will be rejected, he says in a television speech.
Qassem also warns Israel against intensifying its military operations against the Iran-backed group and threatens to resume rocket attacks against the country.
According to the ceasefire agreement concluded in November between Israel and Hizbollah, Israel was to withdraw all its forces from southern Lebanon, which has not happened. Israel also continues to carry out frequent air raids against the country.
According to the same agreement, Hizbollah in turn was to withdraw north, north of the Litani river and thus further away from Israel, which has largely happened.
