What about The Arab League? They're designating them as terrorists, US or not...

Edit: Above is retracted - cjbprime found later information.

Do you have a source? I didn't think any of the 22 countries in the Arab League considered Hezbollah to be a terrorist organization (either its political branch or its militia!).

Many of the countries you mention consider the militia to be a terrorist organization, but not the political wing. I wonder whether the pagers were carried by both groups.

I suspect it's somewhat inconsistent but they are a big problem for many states who are looking at political and economical stability.

Ah, this designation appears to be outdated -- it was rescinded a few months ago, according to https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2024-06-30/ty-article/ar...
Thanks for clarification - have retracted my original comment. Much appreciated.
