JERUSALEM POST: Italian FM: Hizbullah belongs on EU terror list

Italian Foreign Minister Gianfranco Fini told Israeli Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom that the Italian government supports Israel's claim that Hizbullah should be included in the European Union's list of terrorist organizations, Israel Radio reported.

In a meeting between the two in Rome, Fini promised that Italy would work to persuade fellow European Union member countries that Hizbullah belongs on the terror list.

Fini was scheduled to meet with Palestinian Prime Minister Ahmed Qurei on Friday.

He promised Shalom that he would relay Israel's request to the Palestinians regarding the need for complete cooperation between Israel and the Palestinians during Israel's disengagement from Gaza.
