(Hill) Bipartisan lawmakers in the House and Senate on Friday issued a call for the European Union to designate all of Hezbollah a terrorist organization and ban its activities on the continent.
In a letter led by Sens. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) and Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.) as well as Reps. Ted Deutch (D-Fla.) and Lee Zeldin (R-N.Y.), lawmakers urged the bloc to adopt the terrorist designation for Hezbollah’s political arm in addition to its military wing.
“The United States remains dedicated to combating global terrorism and its enablers, and we encourage our allies and partners to join in this effort,” the lawmakers wrote. “To build on these efforts, we strongly urge the EU to designate the entirety of Hezbollah as a terrorist organization.”
