Cabinet ministers from Hezbollah and its allied Amal party resigned from the Lebanese government on Saturday, throwing the country's political landscape into chaos hours after rival politicians failed to agree on Hezbollah's demand to form a national unity governmentm accirding to The Associated Press. Hezbollah and Amal said their ministers resigned because all-party talks on forming a national unity government among rival political factions fell through and government was trying to impose conditions on the negotiations, according to the guerrilla group's Al-Manar television. Al-Manar, quoting a statement from Hezbollah and Amal, said the ministers quit because they refuse «to cover up what we are not convinced of and what might damage the supreme national interests.» Their resignations also resulted from authorities «insisting on imposing terms and premature results for negotiations,» Hezbollah's TV station said.
