TEHRAN, Nov 21 (NNN-IRNA) – Iranian Foreign Minister, Hossein Amir Abdollahian, has condemned Britain’s decision, to declare the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) a terrorist organisation.
“The political solution for Palestine lies in a referendum, among the indigenous residents (Muslim, Jewish, and Christian),” Abdollahian wrote in a tweet, shortly before midnight on Friday.
“The rights of Palestinians cannot be trampled by distorting facts,” he said.
On Friday, British Interior Minister, Priti Patel, issued a statement saying, she had “acted to proscribe Hamas in its entirety” under Britain’s Terrorism Act.
London has listed the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, as a terrorist organisation since 2000.
