DUBAI (Sputnik) — Earlier in the day, the six-member CCASG, including Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait and Oman labeled Hezbollah a terrorist organization.
"We fully condemn Hezbollah terrorist group for its role in the destabilization of the Arab region," the statement reads.
Hezbollah, established in the 1980s, is a paramilitary and political organization originating in Lebanon's Shiite population. The group's primary goal was military opposition to Israel's occupation of the country.
Aside from the GCC, Hezbollah Shia Muslim movement is, partially or entirely, considered a terrorist organization by a number of countries including the United States, Israel and the European Union.
