A Conservative MP has told colleagues “something should be done” about the arsenal of up to 150,000 Hezbollah missiles on Israel’s northern border.
Speaking passionately during a Westminster Hall debate on Wednesday, Phillip Hollobone, the pro-Israeli Kettering MP, said: “There is, on Israel’s northern border, a rocket arsenal of up to 150,000 missiles which are aimed at all the major towns and cities of one of our closest allies… frankly I think something should be done about it.”
He added the British Government should ban the political wing of Hezbollah, saying the militant group “doesn’t see a difference between military and political wing”.
Only the military wing is banned in Britain, which has allowed people to legally fly the organisation’s flag at the annual Al Quds Day Parade in central London, which takes place on Sunday.
