Members of the Gulf Co-operation Council (GCC) said Sunday (June 2nd) the group could “take measures” against Lebanon’s Hizbullah, AFP reported.

The GCC has “decided to look into taking measures against Hezbollah’s interests in the member states,” GCC chief Abdullateef al-Zayani told reporters at the end of a ministerial meeting in Jeddah.

Bahrain’s Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Ghanim al-Bouainain, said “nobody could cover up Hezbollah’s actions in regional countries.”

“It is a terrorist organisation and this is how Gulf states see it,” he added.

Listing Hizbullah as a terrorist organisation would need further technical and legal details, and therefore more examination, al-Bouainain said.

Bahrain, which currently holds the GCC’s rotating presidency, has already branded the group a “terrorist organisation”.
