A legal application to remove Hamas, a Palestinian resistance organisation, from the UK terror list was submitted to Home Secretary Yvette Cooper by British lawyers on 9 April 2025. The group also claims within the submission that the labelling of Hamas as a terrorist organisation was mainly political, as before 2021, when the designation came into action, Hamas had no difference in strategies, doctrine, or leadership. The Hamas case does not cover the Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas that was designated in 2001, but covers all the other elements of the organisation, including the political wing.
