An Arab mediator says Hezbollah has agreed to hold talks with the government and remove a roadblock that has shut down the airport for a week.

The move comes after the Cabinet reversed measures aimed at reining in the Shiite militant group.

Qatari Prime Minister Sheik Hamad bin Jassem al-Thani, the head of an Arab League mediation team in Lebanon, said the feuding factions will hold talks in Qatar on Friday.

The news came after the government rescinded two moves against Hezbollah that sparked the worst violence since Lebanon’s 1975-1990 civil war.

The government backed down from decisions to remove the airport security chief for alleged ties to Hezbollah and to declare the militants’ private telephone network illegal.
