Hezbollah's parliamentary bloc said on Thursday it rejected a Lebanese central bank decision to end fuel subsidies, which it said contravened policies being pursued by the government and parliament.
In a statement after their weekly meeting, the legislators called for the rollout of a prepaid cash card for the poor before any other step to end or reduce subsidies on any essential goods.
Parliament approved the prepaid card in June.
