WASHINGTON – Today, Senators Kevin Cramer (R-ND), Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), and Ted Cruz (R-TX) encouraged Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to urge his Brazilian and Paraguayan counterparts to acknowledge the devastation of Hezbollah’s presence in their home countries. The letter comes during Secretary Pompeo’s visit to Argentina this weekend to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the tragic bombing of the Asociación Mutual Israelita Argentina (AMIA) building, a Jewish community center, by Hezbollah operatives.
“Brazil and Paraguay should not only label Hezbollah as a terrorist organization, but they should also establish a public registry to track and blacklist terror financing entities. Combatting Hezbollah’s presence makes the world safer and allows these nations to look back on this tragedy and realize they are working to ensure a similar attack never happens again,” said Senator Cramer.
