Hezbollah ban by British Authorities and 'insult' to Lebanese people

Hezbollah has strongly rejected the UK government's move to ban it as a terrorist organisation, calling it an "insult" to the Lebanese people and evidence of subservience to the United States.
In a statement issued in Beirut, it stressed that Hezbollah is a "resistance" movement against Israeli occupation, but also a political and popular force with representatives in the Lebanese parliament and government.
