On the UK home secretary Priti Patel's designation of Hamas as a 'terrorist organisation', the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas stated the following: <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n


\r\nWe express our shock and dismay at what has been reported this morning in some international media outlets of the decision by the British home secretary Priti Patel to label the movement as a “terrorist organisation” and her threat of up to 10 years in jail to anyone who expresses support for Hamas.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n


\r\nUnfortunately, the UK continues with its aggression against the Palestinian people. The UK government should have apologised for its historic sin against the Palestinian people in the shameless Balfour Declaration and the British mandate that handed Palestine to the Israeli occupation. Now, the UK government sides with the aggressor against the victim. <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n
