Saudi Arabia applauds UK for proscribing Hezbollah as a terror group
Saudi Arabia praises Britain’s decision earlier this week to blacklist Lebanon’s Hezbollah in its entirety as a terror group.
In a statement on the state-run Saudi Press Agency (SPA), the spokesman for the head of state security says: “The Kingdom welcomes the determination of the United Kingdom to designate militias known as Hezbollah as a terrorist group, including both its political and military branches.”
