“This is Palestine; its solution does not lie in extending a hand of cooperation towards America and negotiating a two-state solution with the Zionist State. Any handspan of Palestine occupied in 1948 and any handspan of Palestine occupied in 1948 are both the same in the view of Islam.”Yahya Nisbet, “LIBERATING THE WHOLE OF PALESTINE IS THE ISLAMIC SOLUTION FOR AL-QUDS,” Hizb ut-Tahrir Britain, December 6, 2017, https://www.hizb.org.uk/media/press-releases/liberating-whole-palestine-islamic-solution-al-quds/.

“[Muslims should] attack the interests of the Jews and the Americans. Select your targets, collect the appropriate funds, assemble your equipment, plan accurately and then charge towards your targets.

“[R]emoving the Jews from the land they occupied in 1948 is an immutable principle because it appears in the Book of Allah…[Allah states] drive them out from wherever they have driven you out.

“Our position is: Palestine in its entirety, and not a grain of soil less…Allah did not define the 1967 borders or the 1948 borders. We will fight them [Jews] wherever we can — on the ground, underground, and if we have airplanes, we will fight them from the skies.”Dov Lieber, “Senior Hamas leader: Quran tells us to drive Jews out of Palestine’s entirety,” Times of Israel, March 16, 2017, https://www.timesofisrael.com/senior-hamas-leader-quran-tells-us-to-drive-jews-out-of-palestines-entirety/.
