    Hezbollah is a Lebanese political entity, not sure where you got the idea that they’re in the west bank (currently governed by the PLO, if you weren’t aware).

    I don’t think not recognising Israel is outlandish either. There are quite a few countries which do not recognise Israel - Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Indonesia spring to mind.

      Hezbollah is about as political as Hamas, how does that change their status as terrorist organizations? Here is a list.

      You name some countries known for their superb human rights. I wonder why not recognizing Israel and having among the worst human rights coincides.

        Regardless of whether you think Hezbollah are a terrorist organisation or no, they’re not in the west bank, they’re in Lebanon (a different country).

        Those countries I mentioned are just examples of large countries that do not recognise Israel. My point is that it is not ‘outlandish’ to not recognise Israel.

          You are correct.

          A quick read suggests that it is mostly Palestinians and a bit of Hamas in the west bank.
