Hezbollah has vehemently opposed the Lebanese government's recent decision to centralize arms under state control, labeling it a "grave sin" while emphasizing their refusal to comply. The militant group's leaders argue that the government's move is influenced by U.S. directives and needlessly threatens national stability amidst ongoing regional conflict.

In a statement reflecting escalating tensions, Hezbollah has dismissed Lebanon's arms control measures as futile, amidst international calls for disarmament.
Hezbollah's condemnation of Lebanon's arms control strategy comes as the cabinet seeks to assert military dominance over weaponry before the year's end. Prime Minister Nawaf Salam confirmed the military’s role in drafting a comprehensive arms regulation plan to submit to the cabinet soon. Following a war with Israel that significantly reduced the group's capabilities, Hezbollah's conditional dialogue on national security remains hindered by perceived aggressions from Israel, as they continue to bolster their arsenal to safeguard their position amidst a backdrop of historical sectarian tensions and civil war memories.
