Macron: We'll Continue to Distinguish between Hizbullah's Wings
[AnNahar] La Belle France will continue to distinguish between  Hizbullah... Party of God, a Leb militia inspired, founded, funded and directed by Iran. Hizbullah refers to itself as The Resistanceand purports to defend Leb against Israel, with whom it has started and lost one disastrous war to date, though it did claim victory... 's military and political wings, French President Emmanuel Macron said Monday, after Britannia said it will outlaw the political wing. Speaking at a joint presser with his Iraqi counterpart Barham Saleh, Macron said Gay Paree will still "communicate and exchange viewpoints with the political movement that is represented in parliament." "We will continue this differentiation," the French president added, noting that "it is not up to La Belle France and other foreign forces to know which political forces represented in Leb's parliament will be good or not." "It is up to the Lebanese people to decide on this," he said. Earlier on Monday, Britannia said it will ban the political wing of Hizbullah, making membership of the movement or inviting support for it a crime. The European Union  ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing...put the armed wing of Hizbullah on its terrorism blacklist in 2013, due to Hizbullah's alleged role in blowing up an Israeli tour bus in Bulgaria. But unlike the United States, the EU differentiates between the group's military and political wings. Posted by: trailing wife 2019-02-26 |
