French-Israeli member of the French National Assembly Meyer Habib called on French President Emmanuel Macron to designate Hezbollah as a terrorist organization, warning that its continued activity threatened many in France and beyond.

Habib, who represents French citizens living in Israel and other countries in the region, sent a letter to the Élysée Palace several weeks ago asking Macron to join a growing number of nations, including Argentina and Paraguay, which have recently taken steps to outlaw Hezbollah or designate it as a terrorist organization due to its destabilizing activity in the Middle East and around the world as an Iranian proxy.

Hezbollah carried out many terrorist activities against Israel but also against Jewish and Western targets around the world. Members of the Shiite terrorist group perpetrated the 1994 bombing of the Jewish community center in Buenos Aires, in which 85 people were killed.

"In 2013, France blacklisted only Hezbollah's military wing, but not its political wing. Such a distinction is artificial and divorced from reality," Habib wrote in his letter to Macron. "Hezbollah has been a prototypical terrorist organization for the past forty years … and has caused the death of many citizens of the French Republic."

Habib further said that "Hezbollah must be designated as a terrorist group without delay; it must not be allowed to operate and get funding. Our values and the security of French citizens are at stake."
