Egyptian politician: Arab League dead entity

Head of Egypt's Al Nasseri Party, Mohammed Abu al-Ala, blasted the recent decision by the Arab League (AL) to brand the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement as terrorist, and said that the AL is a dead entity for the Arab nations.

"The Arab League decisions are no way related to its establishment objectives and instead it acts in coordination with the plots hatched by the colonial powers," Abu al-Ala said.

He reiterated that the Arab countries are now the targets of West's plots for fomenting sectarian strife.

"The decision by the Arab League foreign ministers to brand Hezbollah as terrorist proved the league has become a Zionist-US ally that takes decisions in compliance with the US' demands and does not pay heed to the will and demands of the Arab community," Abu al-Ala added.

In a relevant development on Monday, Hezbollah said a recent move by the Arab League to designate the group as a "terrorist organization" is tantamount to a "declaration of aggression" by Saudi Arabia.
