Gulf Arab states label Hezbollah a terrorist group



RIYADH: -- The Shi’ite militant group Hezbollah is facing further sanctions after a decision by the six-member Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) to class it as a terrorist organisation.

The Iranian-backed organisation wields considerable influence in Lebanon and the country’s former prime minister Saad al-Hariri believes it’s time Hezbollah’s was invited to the talks table to broker peace.

“We should talk with those we have a problem with, no? We should talk with Hezbollah. Some may think that this dialogue is leading nowhere, but I assure you sooner or later this dialogue will reach a result, because Hezbollah will discover that it took some positions that do not benefit the country,” said Hariri.

There’s been no immediate reaction from Hezbollah, but on Monday its leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah accused Saudi Arabia of pushing Lebanon into a new phase of political conflict by announcing it was suspending an aid package for the Lebanese army.

Political expert, George Aalam believes the Gulf country’s move could have unforeseen consequences: “It’s very dangerous because the question is how the countries of the GCC will deal with the government of Prime Minister Tammam Salam which cooperates with this so-called terrorist group, especially as this group (Hezbollah) while this movement has two ministers in Salam’s government.”

The Sunni Muslim dominated council - representing Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain,Kuwait, Oman and Qatar - already imposed sanctions on the Shi’ite Muslim group in 2013 after it entered Syria’s war in support of President Bashar al-Assad.

So finally the penny has dropped and now they agree and see what Israel and very few other countries

knows already for decades, Hezbollah is nothing but a terrorist group within taking a sovereign country,

Lebanon, for ransom, Hezbollah is nothing but an extension and proxy of the evil country Iran and they

don't even try to hide it.... so much so that it send Hezbollah to fight in Syria on it's behalf at the cost

of hundreds of casualties of it's fighters people ....

Way overdue.

I wonder whether the EU will follow suit and ha them outright, or bottle it as they did when Hezbollah murdered a group of Israeli tourists in Bulgaria.

They still have friends on this forum. Look at any post about Israel or Jews and they are making up lies and "liking" each others hate filled posts.

Well, they would say that wouldn't they. All of em corrupt aristocratic dictatorships/pseudo democracies, and budding friends of Israel. I take their comments with a pinch of salt.

Of course it's all part of the Sunni Shia proxy war. With the Israeli apologists climbing on the bandwagon here when it suits their purposes.

Any deflection from the real cancer in the Middle East.

You never had problem with any of them as long as they were enemies of Israel. Now suddenly they are bad guys. What hypocrisy.

You're fabricating and besmirching as usual. Please back up your misinformation with quotes. Where did I say I never had a problem with those corrupt aristocratic dictatorships

Exactly right on all counts.

Just a little questionable battle you IDF guys have won.

You will lose the war, matter of time.

Saudi Arabia is throwing a tantrum over Lebanon, hence this bit of drama labeling Hezbollah a terrorist organization.

[Galactus]

+1... and, as things stand now, Hezbollah serves the necessary purpose of providing some balance and preventing the Saudi-aligned nations from dominating the region.

At least Hezbollah has shown that they can function within a multi-party and multi-religious political system... how does anyone think that al-Nusra, for example, would compare?

That's a very liberal use of "function" there.

Dragging the whole country into armed conflicts, assassinating political rivals, acting independently on foreign policy issues, involvement in drug trade.

What's not to like?

Lebanon is a politically complicated nation. Sometimes Hezbollah coordinates actions with the Lebanese military, sometimes they do other things. I see nothing wrong with that.

Lebanon would be in the middle Iran vs. Saudi-aligned power struggle, with or without Hezbollah. And if wasn't for Hezbollah, southern Lebanon would likely still be occupied by Israel.
