Algeria Foreign Minister Algeria Foreign Minister Ramtan Lamara revealed that his country has officially dissociated itself from the Gulf countries decision that labeled on Wednesday Hezbollah as a terrorist group.

According to Algeria media outlets, Lamara said that Hezbollah is a political movement that operates in Lebanon in accordance with the local laws, adding that Algeria will never interfere in the domestic issues of the  Arab countries.

The Tunisian Foreign Ministry called on reversing the decision which blacklisted Hezbollah as the social media websites reflected the locals' condemnation for the resolution.

Tunisia Foreign Minister announced that the approval of the country's Interior Minister on the decision to blacklist Hezbollah tried to match the Arab consensus.

He also noted that such decisions are taken on the basis of consultations among the President, the Prime Minister and the Foreign Minister, not the Interior Minister, stressing the strength of the relations that link Tunisia with Iran and Lebanon.

Earlier on Wednesday, GCC issued a statement in which it blacklisted Hezbollah as a "terrorist group."

Later on, interior ministers from several Arab countries took the same stance, denouncing the "practices of terrorist Hezbollah," during  the 33rd session of the Council of Arab Interior Ministers in the Tunisian capital.
