UNITED
NATIONS - At a UN Security Council discussion on the protection of
civilians in armed conflict, Israel's ambassador to the UN Ron Prosor on
Tuesday renewed his call for Hezbollah to be designated a terrorist
organization by the European Union, as it has been categorized by the
United States.
"Make no mistake: Hezbollah's sole purpose is to
commit terrorist acts both inside and outside the Middle East," said
Prosor. "Calling Hezbollah a charity is like calling al Qaida an
urban-planning organization because of its desire to level tall
buildings."
The charge came just days after Bulgarian authorities
identified Hezbollah as the perpetrator of a terrorist attack in Burgas
in July of last year, which killed seven people and injured 32.
