Hizbullah Still on Terrorist List
U.S. Ambassador Michele Sison said Wednesday that Washington has not changed its position on Hizbullah, stressing that the Shiite group remained on the list of terrorist organizations.
"Hizbullah continues to be on the terrorist list," Sison said during a chat with reporters.
"There is no difference between Hizbullah”s military wind and its political wing," she stressed.
Hizbbullah is considered a terrorist organization by the United States and Israel.
Asked whether the U.S. Administration will cooperate with the Hizbullah-led opposition if it wins upcoming parliamentary elections, Sison said: "We don”t make decisions based on a crystal ball."
Sison stressed that the Lebanese are the ones who approve election results.
She said Washington supports "moderate voices" and stressed U.S. backing for those "who stand against violence."
