. . . Arthur Stark, Chairman, William Daroff, CEO, and Malcolm Hoenlein, Vice Chair of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, issued the following statement:
“We applaud the government of Slovenia’s decision to rightfully label Hezbollah in its entirety as a terror group, following fellow EU members Estonia, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, and the Netherlands.
An Iranian proxy with the blood of countless innocents on its hands, Hezbollah conducts criminal operations in the Middle East, Europe, Latin America, and elsewhere to finance its murderous activities around the world. No quarter should be given to these purveyors of violence and vicious antisemitism, who are unyielding in their quest to destroy the Jewish State and disseminate dangerous falsehoods about the Jewish people.
We are encouraged by the numerous countries and institutions that have taken similar action, including Argentina, Canada, Colombia, Honduras, Israel, Kosovo, Paraguay, Serbia, the United Kingdom, the United States, the Arab League and the Gulf Cooperation Council. We urge others to join in recognizing Hezbollah for what it is: A pawn for the extremist regime in Iran that shares the Ayatollah’s bitter contempt for freedom and liberty.”
