Hezbollah and allies send MP to Europe to defend Iran's nuclear policies. Lebanese communities denounce the maneuver

Taking advantage from a Lebanese legislative delegation to Europe, Hezbollah MP Pierre Serhal and Hezbollah ally, Amal MP Ali Khreis inserted themselves in the delegation comprising Jamal Jarrah and Riyad Rahal ( Hariri Bloc), Edgar Maalouf (Aoun Bloc), Ayman Chkair (Jumblatt bloc) to enable themselves to contact European officials and lobby for Iran's nuclear policies. 

The delegation is traveling via Paris to Brussels ( Federal Parliament of Belgium), then to Strasbourg ( EU Parliament) then back to Paris (Assemblee Nationale) before returning to Beirut around the 28th of January.

The presence of Hezbollah and Amal representatives Serhal and Khreis, who belong to Terrorist organizations, allies with the Syrian regime, and implicated in assassinations and kidnappings is troubling, not only to the Lebanese communities in Europe but to the European countries too.

M Serhal, a Christian from the district of Jezzine, who was elected with Hezbollah's votes and coordinate his activities with the organization's command, was chosen on purpose because of his Christian-sounding name. This tactic by Hezbollah is widespread in the Diaspora whereby Hezbollah has developed an axis with Terrorist Nazi organization, the SSNP (Syrian Social-Nationalist Party), which provide Hezbollah with spies and operatives around the world.

The Lebanese communities in Europe condemn the participation of Serhal and Khreis, who represent terror organizations and call on European officials and Lebanese Diaspora leaders to boycott them.
