BEIRUT, Sept. 3 (Xinhua) -- Hezbollah warned on Wednesday it could mobilize supporters in the streets if Lebanon's government moves ahead with a decision to disarm the Iran-backed group by the end of 2025, senior official Mahmoud Qomati said.

Qomati, deputy head of Hezbollah's Political Council, told local media that the plan was "unconstitutional, illegitimate, and in violation of both the national charter and international law, which permits resistance under occupation."

He said Hezbollah and its ally, the Amal Movement, would boycott parliamentary sessions if lawmakers advanced steps to enforce the measures. "If we see the session moving to solidify these decisions and lay out steps for execution, we will not attend, and we will head to popular confrontation," he said.

Qomati added that Hezbollah would refrain from escalation if the decisions remained "born dead" and unenforced.

He warned that implementing the resolutions would destabilize Lebanon. "Anyone who seeks stability -- international, regional or local -- must recognize that enforcing these decisions will endanger it and serve no one's interest," he said.

Lebanon's government recently approved a plan to disarm all non-state actors, including Hezbollah, by the end of 2025. The move has deepened political divisions and raised fears of instability. Hezbollah has rejected the plan, saying its arsenal is needed to defend Lebanon against potential threats from Israel. ■
