Jerusalem,
Israel --- July 22, 2013
Part of the following was communicated
by the Government Press Office to the Israel News Agency.
Following
the decision by the European Union to include Hezbollah on the
list of terrorist organizations Israel President Shimon Peres
sent special letters to the leaders of the European Union.
President
Shimon Peres, today (Monday, 22 July 2013), sent special letters
to the leaders of the European Union, following their unanimous
decision to include the military wing of Hezbollah on its list
of terrorist organizations.
In the letters
President Peres wrote:"I welcome the European Union's decision
regarding Hezbollah, a significant and necessary step towards
putting an end to the spread of terror across the globe. The devastating
effects of terror are not restricted to the Middle East. As we
witnessed in the horrific attack in Bulgaria, Hezbollah strikes
all over the world, including within Europe, indiscriminately
targeting innocent civilians. Your decision sends a clear message
to terror organizations and the countries which harbor them that
their murderous actions will not be tolerated."
Israel Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu welcomed the European Union decision
to include Hezbollah on its list of terrorist organizations:
"I welcome
the fact that the EU has also declared Hezbollah to be a terrorist
organization and I thank the leaders of its member states.
In recent
years, the State of Israel has invested great effort in explaining
to all EU member states that Hezbollah is the terrorist arm of
the Iranian regime and perpetrates attacks around the world. For
years, the organization has carried out attacks against innocent
civilians across the globe. Recently, it has sought to perpetrate
dozens of attacks, some of which were actually carried out, in
Asia, Africa, America and Europe, including the reprehensible
murder in Bulgaria and an attack which was foiled in Cyprus.
At the same
time, thousands of this terrorist organization's operatives are
daily perpetrating war crimes in Syria and participating in the
slaughter being carried out there, alongside Assad's forces; they
have murdered approximately 100,000 innocent civilians so far."
Netanyahu
concluded: "As far as the State of Israel is concerned, Hezbollah
is one organization, the arms of which are indistinguishable.
It has imposed terrorist rule on wide sections of Lebanon, has
converted them into an Iranian protectorate and is stockpiling
tens of thousands of rockets there. These have been placed in
the heart of civilian populations and are designed to be fired
at population centers in Israel.
I hope that
the implementation of the decision will lead to tangible steps
against the organization."
