Estonia sanctions Hezbollah, imposes entry ban on its affiliates
Estonia imposes sanctions on Lebanon’s Iran-backed Hezbollah terror group and bars any member or affiliate of the movement “whose activity supports terrorism” from entering the country.
The entry ban includes both Hezbollah’s military wing and its political wing.
“Hezbollah poses a considerable threat to international — and thereby Estonian — security,” says Estonian Foreign Minister Urmas Reinsalu.
Reinsalu notes that with the decision, it is joining the US, the UK, the Netherlands, Germany, Lithuania and others “who have concluded that Hezbollah uses terrorist means and constitutes a threat to the security of many states.”
