Iran strongly condemned the decision Hezbollah’s Shiite activities are banned in Germany. “The German government’s decision against Hezbollah was irrational and lacked respect for Lebanon and the Lebanese government,” Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Abbas Moussaoui said on Friday, quoted by the Iranian news agency ISNA ISNA (1 of May 2020).
Mousavi declared that Hezbollah is a recognized, popular and legitimate political party in Lebanon, adding that it is not a terrorist organization, but an opponent of “true terrorism” in the region. Mousavi believes that the Berlin decision is in line with the political objectives of Israel and the “politically troubled American government”, and therefore is part of its propaganda machine.
Tolem issued a reaction from the newly formed Lebanese government to the German decision, and it should be noted that the Lebanese Hezbollah is backed by Iran and is considered its most important political and military ally in the region. Hezbollah’s armed wing is active in the Syrian civil war and, in cooperation with Tehran, supports the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
And he accuses some Gulf countries, especially Saudi Arabia Hezbollah supported the Houthi rebels in Yemen.
On Thursday, German Interior Minister Horst Seehofer decided to ban Hezbollah activities in Germany. Zehover told the German newspaper “Bild” in remarks, justifying the decision that the pro-Iranian Lebanese movement doubted Israel’s right to exist and openly called for its destruction.
The police raided four mosques and organizations linked to Hezbollah in Berlin, Dortmund, Munster and Bremen., As well as real estate in other regions. The ban would prevent any Hezbollah activity in Germany, including fundraising.
During the operation, the police identified senior Hezbollah officials and a tax adviser, according to sources with the German News Agency. Sources said at least 15 locations were raided in four German states, with the participation of 425 police officers. Documents and computers were confiscated, and no dangerous weapons were found.
The German decision was well received by the United States, Israel and Saudi Arabia as an important step in the fight against terrorism. Israel’s Foreign Minister Yisrael Katz said it was “a very important decision and a great and valuable step in the world war on terrorism.” “I would like to express my deep appreciation to the German government for taking this step,” the minister said in a statement, adding that he was “sure” that moderate governments in the Middle East, as well as “thousands of victims” of the attacks Hezbollah, they were grateful for that.
He also praised the US Secretary of State. USA Mike Pompeo The German ban on Hezbollah as a terrorist organization, and taking a firm stand against its suspected supporters.
Pompeo said: “With this measure, Germany joins the growing countries that reject the false separation between Hezbollah’s terrorist operations, and that it is an alleged political wing.” Pompeo and Katz called on other member states of the European Union to follow the example of Germany.
Israel, Saudi Arabia and the United States are reported to have been urging Germany for years to treat not only the military arm, but also Hezbollah’s political arm as a terrorist organization. Hezbollah participates in the Lebanese government.
