PARIS — Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen met with his French counterpart in Paris on Wednesday and asked France to help stop Hezbollah “provocations” at the Lebanese border.
With its history of carrying out global terrorist attacks, parts of Hezbollah—and in some cases the entire organization—have been designated as a terrorist group by the United States and many other countries. In recent years, long-standing alliances with Iran and Syria have embroiled the group in the Syrian civil war, where its support for Bashar al-Assad’s regime has transformed Hezbollah into an increasingly effective military force according to the Council on foreign relations.
