Eichhorst meets with Mikati, tackles reasons behind EU's decision

Caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati held a meeting on Wednesday at the Grand Serail with EU Ambassador to Lebanon Angelina Eichhorst whereby they discussed the reasons behind the European Union's decision to put Hezbollah's military wing on its list of terrorist organizations.

Eichhorst stressed that the EU is adamant on Lebanon's unity and stability, denouncing any attack targeting the EU countries.

It is worth noting that Eichhorst also visited the president of the Higher Shiite Council Mufti Abdel Amir Kabalan.

The European Union placed the military wing of the Lebanese party Hezbollah on its terror list on Monday in a major policy change toward the Middle East.

The EU's 28 foreign ministers reached the decision unanimously at their monthly meeting, swiftly swaying the last nations that had any doubts.

It came after prolonged diplomatic pressure from the United States and Israel, who both consider Hezbollah a terrorist organization.
