Foreign Minister Israel Katz welcomed Argentine President Mauricio Macri's decision to recognize Hezbollah as a terrorist organization.

"This recognition is part of the international struggle against terror and especially against Hezbollah and its patron Iran, who bear responsibility for the severe terrorist attacks in the Jewish community building and the Israeli Embassy in Buenos Aires. The publication of the decision on the 25th anniversary of the attack on the building of the community has special significance and importance in the ongoing struggle against terrorism and in efforts to bring those responsible to justice. "

"We will continue to act everywhere in order to include Hezbollah in the list of terrorist organizations, and the entire world must unite in the struggle against the terror spread by Iran and its proxies," Katz added.
