Middle East
- Question
- What assessment he has made of the threat to peace and stability in the middle east region posed by Hezbollah.
- Answer
-
Hezbollah's stated aim of the elimination of the state of Israel is totally unacceptable, as are Hezbollah's military and terrorist activities, particularly along the blue line, in the occupied territories and in Iraq. We call on Hezbollah to contribute to peace and security in the middle east by renouncing violence, disarming in compliance with UN Security Council resolution 1559, and entering into the democratic process on an exclusively non-violent basis.
