Mohammed Ali al-Houthi, a member of the Supreme Political Council has commented on Britain’s intention to designate the Palestinian Islamic resistance movement Hamas as a “terrorist organisation.”
“We condemn the designation of Hamas as a terrorist, although we are not surprised with this coming from the British founder of the occupation,” al-Houthi said on Twitter.
ندين تصنيف حماس بالارهاب
وان كان غير مستغرب من بريطانياالمؤسس للاحتلال
وعندمايتزامن مع مرور ذكرى وعدبلفور الاجرامي
فهو تاكيد على استمرار بريطاني في ارهاب الضحية ودعم الكيان المجرم
انناعلى يقين ان التصنيف سياسي و لايمثل لقيادة حماس ومناصريها الاعزيمةلاستمرارتحرير #القدس
وكل فلسطين— محمد علي الحوثي (@Moh_Alhouthi) November 19, 2021
“When (the designation) coincides with the anniversary of the Balfour Criminal Declaration , it is an affirmation of the British continued terrorism of the victim and support for the criminal entity.”
“We are certain that the designation is a political move. The leadership and supporters of Hamas represent only a determination to continue the liberation of al-Quds (Jerusalem) and all of Palestine,” al-Houthi added.
The Guardian newspaper reported on Friday morning that British Home Secretary Priti Patel planning to declare Hamas a “terrorist organisation” through a British bill that would prevent any support for the Palestinian movement, with anyone involved risking a sentence of up to 10 years in prison.
