Europeans States Hostile to Hezbollah in Support of Israel

A senior Iranian legislator slammed the European Union’s blacklisting of the military wing of the Lebanese Hezbollah Resistance Movement, and said the move was made to support the Zionist regime.
“The European countries’ hostility towards Hezbollah is meant to support the Zionist regime and the regime has lived by these countries’ supports so far,” member of the parliament’s Social Commission Mohsen Alimardani told FNA on Wednesday.

“Animosity of the countries, which have played a significant role in the formation of the Zionist regime, against Hezbollah is clear,” he added.

EU governments last week agreed to list the armed wing of Hezbollah as a terrorist group but the EU ignored pressure from the US and Israel to ban the Lebanese organization outright, allowing contacts with its political representatives.

The decision by EU foreign ministers came after months of wrangling among member states, who needed to agree the ban unanimously.

But there was condemnation from Beirut, where the government had described Hezbollah as “an essential component of the Lebanese society”. Leading politicians warned the move would play into the hands of Israel. The Lebanese al-Manar TV channel, reported, “Israel has imposed its will on Europe.”
