Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has welcomed the countries that declared Hezbollah to be a terrorist organization on Monday, in the context of the regional anti-terrorism conference currently being held in the Colombian capital of Bogota.
Colombia and Honduras joined Argentina and Paraguay, which have already done so. In the context of the recognition, Colombia has adopted the full United States terrorist list, which includes the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, Hamas and Islamic Jihad. Netanyahu said, "I commend the countries that today joined Israel and the US in our struggle against global terrorism. This is an important step. I call on additional countries to join this move."
