Hamas rejects Arab League designation of Hezbollah as terrorists

Palestinian terror movement Hamas rejects on Monday an Arab League resolution labeling Lebanon’s Hezbollah a terrorist organization.

In a statement, the party says it “rejects the description of the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement as terrorist.”

Instead, it adds, Israel’s actions against Palestinians should be labeled “terrorism.”

It also calls on Arab states to “support the legitimate struggle of the Palestinian people” and urges them to work together to solve their differences through dialogue.

On Sunday, Arab League members adopted a resolution saying they would hold the “terrorist Lebanese Hezbollah… responsible for supporting terrorism and terrorist organisations in Arab countries, with modern weapons and ballistic missiles”.
