Arab League removes Hezbollah from ‘terrorist group’ list: Report

The Arab League has removed Hezbollah from its list of designated terror groups, the organisation's assistant secretary-general on the Egyptian Al-Qahera News Channel. 

In a televised statement, Hossam Zaki said, "The member states of the league agreed that the label of Hezbollah as a terrorist organisation should no longer be employed". 

Hezbollah was classified as a "terrorist organisation" by the Arab League on 11 March 2016, shortly after the Gulf Cooperation Council countries made the designation.
