The Arab League has removed the Iranian-backed Hezbollah terrorist organization from the league’s terror group list, according to the Turkish Anadolu news agency.
Egyptian Ambassador Hossam Zaki made the announcement Saturday in a televised statement on the Al-Qahera News channel one day after concluding a visit to Beirut, where he met with Muhammad Ra’ad, head of the “Loyalty to the Resistance” bloc affiliated with Hezbollah. Zaki also met with other Lebanese officials on Friday, including political leaders from across the spectrum.
Hezbollah was designated as a terrorist organization by the Arab League on March 11, 2016. At that time, the League called on Hezbollah to “cease promoting extremism and sectarianism, refrain from meddling in the internal affairs of countries.” The designation followed a similar decision at that time, one week earlier (March 2, 2016), by the Gulf Cooperation Council nations.
