Anywhere Event
Dear John,
I wanted to make sure you knew about this high-level Advocacy Anywhere
conversation tomorrow (Thursday) about the urgent need to designate
Hezbollah a terrorist organization in its entirety. The time for the
European Union and all countries to join the United States, the United
Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands, Lithuania, and other countries in
ending Hezbollah's activities on their soil is now. I hope
you'll be able to join us.

There is perhaps no organization in the world today with more innocent
blood on its hands than Hezbollah. At the same time, there is no
terrorist organization that has attained a higher level of
international legitimacy with its "political wing" operating with
impunity on the European continent. Earlier this year, Germany and
Lithuania shocked the world and joined the United States, the United
Kingdom, the Netherlands, and various other states in banning
Hezbollah in its entirety. Following the devastating explosion in
Beirut on August 4, the Lebanese people are increasingly calling for
an end to Hezbollah's exploitation of Lebanon's ports and
borders and its sway over corrupt governments, which it uses to fund
and arm itself. Will the EU under Germany's presidency finally
classify all of Hezbollah as a terrorist group? Will other European
countries follow Germany's and Lithuania's lead and take domestic
action against this dangerous group? How can the U.S. and like-minded
allies make the case for the full designation of Hezbollah as a
terrorist organization?
Join Ambassador Nathan Sales, the U.S. State Department's
Coordinator for Counterterrorism; Rt Hon Sajid Javid MP,
Britain's Chancellor of the Exchequer (2019-2020) and Home
Secretary (2018-2019); and Hans-Georg Engelke, German State Secretary
at the Federal Ministry of the Interior, to help answer these
questions and more.
