Prime Minister Fouad Siniora has called the cabinet for a meeting later on Wednesday. The government could annul the decisions at the session.
FEARS OF STRIFE
The decision to ban Hezbollah's communications network was seen as a declaration of war by the group, which routed its rivals in six days of fighting that erupted on May 7. Hezbollah was also infuriated by the cabinet's move to fire Beirut airport's security chief, who is close to the group.
The fighting quickly took sectarian tones, raising concerns Lebanon was edging towards wider civil strife among Druze and Sunni supporters of the governing coalition and Shi'ites who back Hezbollah.
Hezbollah activists began to remove roadblocks on the airport road on Wednesday to give the Arab mediators passage to the city.
Governing coalition leader Saad al-Hariri, Lebanon's most powerful Sunni politician, pledged on Tuesday there would be no political surrender to what he called an attempt by Hezbollah and its Syrian and Iranian backers to impose their will.
He welcomed Arab mediation and left the door open for compromise. "I hope that with the Arab delegation we will find a solution," Hariri said. "We have reached the point of sectarian strife and everyone must compromise."
U.S. President George W. Bush is to consult allies on how to assist Lebanon when he visits the region this week.
Saudi Arabia, also a backer of the governing coalition, has said Hezbollah's actions, if backed by Iran, could threaten Tehran's ties with Arab states. Iran has blamed the United States for the violence in Lebanon.
