Moussa said Arab world is keen on helping Lebanon emerge from the current crisis, which has left dozens of people dead.

Deadly clashes erupted a day after the cabinet's decision on Tuesday to declare Hezbollah's private communication network illegal and remove airport security chief Gen. Wafik Shqaier for alleged links with the militant group.

On Saturday afternoon, Lebanon's Hezbollah-led opposition withdrew its armed presence from the capital Beirut after the army froze the cabinet's decisions.

However, heavy clashes between pro- and anti-government forces broke out again Sunday in the mountainous areas of central Lebanon, local TV reported.

Lebanon is currently facing its most serious political deadlock since the end of the 1975-1990 civil war. For the first time in its history, the presidential seat has been vacant for months since Nov. 24, 2007, when Emile Lahoud ended his presidential term.
