Urging the European Union to designate Hizballah in its entirety as a terrorist organization.

House Resolution 558 is a formal statement of policy that calls on the European Union to designate the entirety of Hizballah as a terrorist organization. While the European Union currently distinguishes between the group’s political and military wings—placing only the military wing on its sanctions list—this resolution urges the EU to eliminate that distinction to better coordinate international efforts against the group’s activities.

For citizens, this resolution does not change domestic law, but it signals a unified U.S. foreign policy goal to restrict the group’s ability to fundraise, recruit, and operate legally across Europe. By encouraging stronger international sanctions, the resolution aims to enhance global security cooperation and more effectively disrupt the financial networks used to support international terrorism.
