“Since the outbreak of the war, the US has threatened to bomb us in Lebanon from its military ships in the Mediterranean. We are prepared for whatever scenario. If an all-out war breaks out, you Americans will pay with your ships, your aircrafts and your soldiers. Remember your defeats in Lebanon and Iraq, and your humiliating withdrawal from Afghanistan. Those who defeated you in Lebanon in the 1980s are still alive and their children and grandchildren are ready to face you.

“Your fleet in the Mediterranean do not scare us… We are ready to face the fleet you threaten us with. Whoever wants to prevent a regional war must quickly stop the aggression on Gaza.”Gianluca Pacchiani, “‘A civilian for a civilian’: Nasrallah threatens attacks against Israelis, US troops in region,” Times of Israel, November 3, 2023, https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/a-civilian-for-a-civilian-nasrallah-threatens-attacks-against-israelis-us-troops-in-region/.

In reference to Hamas’s October 7 surprise attack on Israel:

“Hamas’s goal is not to run Gaza and to bring it water and electricity and such. Hamas, the Qassam and the resistance woke the world up from its deep sleep and showed that this issue must remain on the table. This battle was not because we wanted fuel or laborers. It did not seek to improve the situation in Gaza. This battle is to completely overthrow the situation.”Ben Hubbard and Maria Abi-Habib, “Behind Hamas’s Bloody Gambit to Create a ‘Permanent’ State of War,” New York Times, last updated November 9, 2023, https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/08/world/middleeast/hamas-israel-gaza-war.html.

Statement advocating for Pakistani military intervention in Gaza:

“It is the shari’a obligation of the military leadership that instead of condolences and sympathy, it should root out the Jewish state and destroy this cancerous pimple…Why are [Pakistan's] ballistic missiles not being fired at Tel Aviv to protect our mujahideen on the ground?... If your current leaders are not able to lead you in this war, then hand over the power to someone who can establish the caliphate based on the Prophet and move the armies for Jihad against Jews.”“Hizbut Tahrir Pakistan Calls On Pakistani Military To Fight Israel: ‘Why Are [Pakistan’s] Ballistic Missiles Not Being Fired At Tel Aviv To Protect Our Mujahideen?,’” Middle East Media Research Institute, November 20, 2023, https://www.memri.org/jttm/hizbut-tahrir-pakistan-calls-pakistani-military-fight-israel-why-are-pakistans-ballistic.

Press release in response to Facebook’s shutdown of HT pages:

“Proclaiming itself as a champion of freedom of speech, Facebook’s selective censorship actions are clear proof they are no different from the oppressive dictators who control the flow of information to protect their narrative. This morning, Facebook showed its true motive of protecting the Zionist entities and protecting the evil regimes across the Muslim world by attempting to silence the truth. Facebook shutdown many of the official pages of Hizb ut-Tahrir, including America, Australia, Britain, and the Netherlands.  They fear what we have been able to do!”“Unmasking Facebook’s Hypocrisy: Facebook’s Selective Censorship,” Hizb ut-Tahrir America, October 25, 2023, https://hizb-america.org/unmasking-facebooks-hypocrisy-facebooks-selective-censorship/.
