BEIRUT--Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah said Saturday a UN resolution calling for an end to hostilities between his group and Israel was not fair but that Hezbollah would not stand in the way of its approval by the Lebanese government.

"We will not be an obstacle to any decision taken by the Lebanese government. Our government ministers will register reservations on the resolution and some of its terms.

"It [the resolution] is unjust and unfair because it held Hezbollah responsible for starting the aggression

Lebanese army won’t disarm Hezbollah -- defense minister

BEIRUT -- The Lebanese army won't disarm Hezbollah but expects the Shiite militia to leave south Lebanon once troops are deployed there, Defense Minister Elias Murr said Monday.

"The army won't be deployed to south Lebanon to disarm Hezbollah, something which Israel wasn't able to do itself," the minister said on the private television station LBC.

"Its role is to ensure the security of the resistance and citizens, to protect the victory of the resistance," Murr said referring to Islamic Resistance, the armed wing of Hezbollah.

"Nevertheless, I reassure you that the resistance will provide maximum cooperation and that once the army is deployed there won't be any arms or armed presence in the area except for the army" and UN forces.

In addition to the ceasefire, UN Security Council resolution 1701 called for Hezbollah to disarm and for the Lebanese army and up to 15,000 UN troops to take control of south Lebanon.

Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah on Monday vowed that his fighters not be forced to disarm by "intimidation or pressure."

The issue of Hezbollah's disarmament cannot be resolved "in haste...or by intimidation, pressure or provocation," he said in a television address.

Despite accepting the UN resolution, Hezbollah has also vowed to keep on fighting until the last Israeli soldier leaves Lebanon.

Murr said the question of the disarmament of Hezbollah was for the national dialogue conference, which unites Lebanon's 14 major religious communities.

The conference, which began meeting in March, was due to address the question of Hezbollah's disarmament last month, but was postponed due to the fighting that followed a Hezbollah raid that captured two soldiers and killed eight.
