(ANSA) - Rome, December 11 - Deputy Premier and Interior
Minister Matteo Salvini said Tuesday that he was surprised that
him describing Hezbollah as terrorists during a visit to Israel
had caused a stir.
"I don't understand the amazement that I have read about in a
news agency item about calling Hezbollah Islamic terrorists,"
Salvini told a news conference in Jerusalem.
"If they dig underground tunnels that breach Israeli
territory, I don't think they do so to do the shopping".
