Britain's designation of Hamas as a terror organization is a “crime against international law” declares PA Minister of Justice
Official PA TV program Topic of the Day
PA Minister of Justice Muhammad Shalaldeh: “Instead of Britain defining the Palestinian resistance organizations as terror organizations (refers to British announcement on Nov. 19, 2021, that it will recognize all of Hamas including its political bureau as a terror organization -Ed.), it should bear responsibility because it carries the legal responsibility for the disaster that befell the Palestinian people, first in the Balfour Declaration (see note below -Ed.), and it gave this legal approval in the British Mandate. Now, instead of recognizing the State of Palestine and providing help to the Palestinian people in achieving self-determination and establishing a state for the Palestinian people, Britain is carrying out this step that is considered a crime against international law.”
