Israel’s Ambassador To UN: “EU Must Find The Moral And Political Courage” To Label Hezbollah Terrorist Organization

The Algemeiner reports:

On Tuesday Israel’s Ambassador to the UN called on the European Union to designate Hezbollah as a terrorist organization. Speaking at a UN Security Council debate on the protection of civilians in combat zones, Ron Prosor noted that the suicide bombing in Burgas, Bulgaria last year that killed six, including five Israelis “was the deadliest attack on European soil since 2005.” Last week Bulgarian officials linked Hezbollah to the deadly incident.  “Make no mistake: Hezbollah’s sole purpose – its raison d’etre – is to commit terrorist acts both inside and outside the Middle East,” Prosor said. “Some European lawmakers continue to bend over backwards attempting to differentiate between Hezbollah’s military and political wings. This is an exercise in futility. The only ‘difference’ between these two wings is that the political wing negotiates the sum of drug cartel money that the military wing later uses to purchase weaponry.” Prosor challenged the EU to make the tough decision of designating Hezbollah a terrorist organization. “The EU must find the moral and political courage to place Hezbollah on its list of terrorist organizations.”
