Hezbollah Terror Listing Sign of PGCC's Failure: Syrian Advisor


TEHRAN (Tasnim) - The political and media advisor to Syria's president described the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council’s action to put Lebanese Hezbollah on its so-called terror list as a manifestation of failure and a result of collaboration with Israel.

The PGCC’s decision to designate Hezbollah as a terrorist group is a testimony to failure and inability, Bouthaina Shaaban said in an interview with Lebanese Al Manar television network.

She also described the controversial action as a result of years of collaboration with the Zionist regime of Israel and cooperation with the enemies of the Arab nations.

Last week, the Arab monarchies of the Persian Gulf declared Hezbollah movement, which has been fighting terrorist groups in Syria and the Israeli occupation, a “terrorist group.”

The six-nation council officially added Hezbollah and all groups affiliated to its so-called list of terrorist organizations.
