JERUSALEM (AFP)--U.S. President Barack Obama Thursday demanded that foreign governments brand Hezbollah a "terrorist organization," slamming the Lebanon-based militia for attacks on Israelis.

"Every country that values justice should call Hezbollah what it truly is--a terrorist organization," Mr. Obama said in a major speech in Israel, in remarks apparently aimed at the European Union which has declined to put the group on a list of terrorist movements.
