Hezbollah Secretary General, Hassan Nasrallah referred on Monday, to Germany's decision to define the group as a terrorist organization: "This decision was expected. It is Germany's surrender to the wishes of the United States, which aims to target all the resistance movements in the region and not just Hezbollah. "
According to Nasrallah, "the decision is part of the Israeli-American war in the region, and those facing American hegemony and Israeli occupation are the resistance movements. The Germans have shown nothing regarding Hezbollah's activity in Germany, and indeed no such activity exists. Surely not a terrorist activity."
