Germany Is Right to See Hizbullah as Terrorist Entity
(The National-Abu Dhabi) Editorial - Germany has joined the U.S., UK and a number of other countries, including members of the Arab League, in designating Hizbullah a terrorist entity. Germany's decision is a welcome one, coming five months after the Bundestag called for a stop to Hizbullah's local activities. Hizbullah is an armed proxy for Tehran's wider geopolitical interests, holding the Lebanese state hostage. It has also spread its tentacles across the Middle East and elsewhere, including within the EU and even Latin America. Now, the largest EU member state has sent an extraordinary signal that there is a limit to European patience with Iran's broader extremist agenda.
