Report: Lebanon Tries in Vain to Stop Branding Hizbullah Terrorist at Islamic Summit
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Lebanon has tried in vain to stop considering Hizbullah a terrorist group at a preparatory meeting for the Islamic summit that will be held in Turkey later this week, As Safir daily reported on Tuesday.
The meeting was held in Istanbul ahead of the talks of the foreign ministers of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation on Tuesday.
The OIC summit will be held on Thursday and Friday.
According to As Safir, Lebanon’s Ambassador to Riyadh Abdul Sater Issa, who represents Lebanon at the OIC for being based in Jeddah, has expressed reservations on a clause about Hizbullah.
The representatives of Iraq, Algeria, Iran and Indonesia did the same, said the newspaper.
Prime Minister Tammam Salam will represent Lebanon at the OIC summit.
He will travel at the head of a ministerial delegation that represents all the factions represented in the government because he wants to show the solidarity of the Lebanese with internal unity and Arab consensus, said As Safir.
Last month, the Arab League formally branded Hizbullah a terrorist organization, a move that raised concerns of deepening divisions among Arab countries and ramped up the pressure on the Shiite group, which is fighting on the side of President Bashar Assad in Syria.
The move aligned the 22-member league firmly behind Saudi Arabia and the Saudi-led bloc of six Gulf Arab nations, which have also made the same formal branding against Hizbullah.

if Lebanon objects to branding Hezbollah a terror organization, then Lebanon should stop complaining about hezbollah practices on a daily basis. Lebanon is a failed state and should be treated as such.

exactly, so why do they keep whining ? Now, they have an opportunity to condemn it and label it they way it should be. Did I hear al sharq al awsat refer to Lebanon as a joke?

Look even Indonesia supports the Resistance, that is the majority of muslims in the World.
Not to mention the great numbers of Christian support in South America.

I want to see actual demographics about the Christians which you repeatedly use. South America? really? I bet the martians as well as Eskimos also support your Iranian group too right?

It sure seems Lebanon is happy having a sectarian militia control its affairs. Here is an example of how this militia thinks it is above the law:
المعتدون على “الشرق الأوسط”: يحاكمون حضوريا.. والثامن المحسوب على “حزب الله” غيابيا

وقد غادر المدعى عليهم نظارة قصر العدل في بيروت بعد 10 أيام على توقيفهم في هذه القضية٬ على أن يمثلوا لاحًقا أمام القاضي المنفرد لمحاكمتهم حضورًيا٬ فيما لا يزال المدعى عليه الأساسي عباس زهري المحسوب على “حزب الله” متوارًيا عن الأنظار٬ لكونه يتمتع بحماية أمنية ولم يجر توقيفه٬ ومن المقرر محاكمته غيابًيا ما لم يسلّم نفسه للمحكمة.

The broken record excuse is that Hezbollah represents a large portion of the shia community. So what? If the Shia community wants to be represented by a terror organization that is their choice and not the choice of the rest and the majority of the Lebanese people inside and outside Lebanon.

When a political party provides weapon to its members, this party has internal or external destructive objective . By the way this applies to many political organisations in Lebanon.

I put the blame on this Caporal corrupt agent who provided them with Christian legitimacy.

bighassan, not by choice. Please take your fight back to your respective territories and leave Lebanon alone. Using Christians like you always do, shameful. And don't go whining saying I'm a Zionist either, both your group and them are just as manipulative and occupying land that's not yours.

Yeah the country is pretty much an Iranian suburb, the regular population for the most part are sellouts and just plain selfish. So I guess besides selling their very dignity and allowing illegal Iranian occupation, severe influx of narcotics, prostitution, fake medications, failed infrastructure, corrupt institutions etc, those are you right? So proud of you Lebanon...keep living in denial.

Wow bighassan you really don't get it. Lebanon should ONLY be ruled by the Lebanese, not KSA, not Iran, do you not understand such a basic concept? Nice assumptions from a paid propagandist, thanks for contributing to warping the minds of the Lebanese, you're a hero to us all...

He will never get it. Anybody against the filthy murdering militia is labeled Zionist, as if this word will change our minds.
