UK Government announces full ban of Hizballah as a terrorist organisation gov.uk/government/new…
Home Sec @sajidjavid: "Hizballah is continuing in its attempts to destabilise the fragile situation in ME & we are no longer able to distinguish between their already banned military wing and the political party... I have taken the decision to proscribe the group in its entirety"
Foreign Sec @Jeremy_Hunt: "We cannot however be complacent when it comes to terrorism – it is clear the distinction between Hizballah’s military and political wings does not exist"
Foreign Secretary @Jeremy_Hunt: "by proscribing Hizballah in all its forms, the government is sending a clear signal that its destabilising activities in the region are totally unacceptable and detrimental to the UK’s national security".
