UK that established Israel now plans to impose full ban on Hezbollah

The British government is to impose a full ban on activities of the legitimate national Lebanese Resistance Movement Hezbollah because Israel wanted so and it was UK that facilitated establishment of Israel on the land of Arab majority Palestine.

Israel has also invaded Lebanon and still continues to occupy parts of Lebanon but British/UK failed to address the legitimate concerns of Lebanese, Palestinian and Syrian nations regarding illegitimate occupation of their sacred territory by Israel that is an ally of the UK and US.
UK Home Secretary (interior minister) Sajid Javid said on Monday that the government will designate the entire Hezbollah organisation as a “terrorist” entity as of Friday subject to the approval of the parliament. Javid, an extreme right-wing politician of the Pakistani origin, said the UK government was no longer able to maintain a distinction between Hezbollah’s political and military activities and thus will include the group’s political unit in its blacklist.
“Hezbollah is continuing in its attempts to destabilize the fragile situation in the Middle East – and we are no longer able to distinguish between their already banned military wing and the political party,” said Javid, adding, “Because of this, I have taken the decision to proscribe the group in its entirety,” he added in a statement. Britain has become increasingly angered by Hezbollah’s role in an anti-militancy campaign in Syria, where London has for the past eight years supported terrorist groups opposed to the government of President Bashar al-Assad.
UK’s move to outlaw Hezbollah in its entirety would mean that anyone expressing support for the religiously-oriented organization could end up in UK jail for up to 10 year.
There was no official reaction from Hezbollah although lawmakers representing the group in the Lebanese parliament said UK decision was a “violation of sovereignty”.
Hezbollah has lambastes remarks by US ambassador to Beirut about the movement’s role in the new government, saying they violate Lebanon’s sovereignty.
Hezbollah has played a major role in helping Assad purge the Syrian territory from terrorist groups. The intervention, once criticized inside Lebanon, has helped the resistance movement increase its political clout as the group now controls three ministries, a first on the history of the Lebanese government.
The Israeli regime swiftly welcomed Javid’s announcement with Israeli Security Minister Gilad Erdan saying in a tweet that the European Union, which unlike the United States has opposed designation of Hezbollah as terrorist entity, should follow suit.
