Hezbollah slams Australia blacklisting of Lebanese group

Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah denounced Australia’s decision to list the whole group as a “terrorist organization,” saying it was “a humiliating submission to American and Zionist dictates. In a statement, Hezbollah stressed that such a move will not affect its determination to support any anti-Israeli movement.

Australia on Wednesday extended a pre-existing ban on the movement’s armed units. Observers believe the US has been exerting all efforts with its allies to demonize Hezbollah not only in the region, but across the globe.
