Statement in response to a British government announcement that it will soon proscribe Hamas as a terrorist organization:

“We believe that resisting the Israeli occupation with all means possible, including armed resistance, is a guaranteed right for peoples under occupation as per international law.

“The UK should stop being biased towards the Israeli narrative and rush to expiate their awful sin against the Palestinian people committed in the Balfour Declaration by supporting the Palestinians' struggle for liberation, independence, and return. ““Statement on UK home secretary's designation of Hamas as ‘terrorist organization,’” Hamas, November 19, 2021, https://hamas.ps/en/post/3734/Statement-on-UK-home-secretary-s-designation-of-Hamas-as-terrorist-organisation.
