"Some factions behave as if they want Israel to remain in Lebanon. This is shameful," Saniora told reporters.
He did not mention Hizbullah by name. But the party had criticized government efforts to achieve Israel's withdrawal from the Shebaa Farms peacefully by placing the territory under the guardianship of the United Nations.
"Why should we behave as if we are scared of Israel's withdrawal from the farms?" Saniora asked.
"Regarding Hizbullah weapons, President Michel Suleiman would sponsor dialogue at the Baabda Palace after the government formation to tackle this issue," he stressed.
"We should not mix up the two issues," Saniora added.
"Israel's withdrawal from the farms and placing the territory under U.N. guardianship pending border demarcation between Lebanon and Syria is one thing, and discussing the defense strategy is something to be decided by the Lebanese," Saniora said.
