Following similar resolutions in other European parliaments, the Czech Chamber of Deputies has designated the Lebanese Shiite Hezbollah movement a terrorist organization as a whole that threatens all democracies. The Czech government will try to enforce this decision on the European Union level as well to make the EU stop distinguishing between Hezbollah’s political and military units, RMX reports.

“The Chamber of Deputies calls on the government to promote at the European Union level the abandonment of the concept of dividing Hezbollah into two units and to support its full inclusion on the list of terrorist organizations,” the parliamentary resolution states.

Seven years ago, EU foreign ministers included only the military wing of the movement on the European list of terrorist organizations.

According to Czech deputies, the government should commit to suppressing Hezbollah’s influence in the world in order to strengthen international security.

The Chamber of Deputies also stated that its resolution “is not a hostile act towards the Lebanese people and that it is interested in maintaining a partnership with the Lebanese Republic.” Hezbollah representatives are part of the Lebanese government.
