US envoy praises Germany for banning Hezbollah, calls on EU to follow suit

US ambassador to Germany, Richard Grenell, welcomes Berlin’s recognition of Hezbollah as a terror group and calls on “all European Union member states to take similar action.”

Most European nations blacklist just the military wing of the Lebanese extremist organization, while tolerating its influential political wing. Germany changed that stance this morning, outlawing the group in its entirety as well as any use of its symbols.
