Security minister Tom Tugendhat said the Islamic fundamentalist group “encourages and promotes terrorism” as he condemned its “disgraceful celebration of Hamas’ appalling attacks on Israel”. But the government faced renewed pressure to proscribe the group in the wake of Hamas’ October 7 terror attacks in Israel, which prominent Hizb ut-Tahrir members in Britain appeared to celebrate. Tom Tugendhat condemned Hizb ut-Tahrir’s ‘disgraceful celebration of Hamas’ appalling attacks on Israel’ Mr Tugendhat said: “Hizb ut-Tahrir clearly encourage and promote terrorism. “We stand firmly against antisemitism and hatred against the Jewish community in the UK.” Labour welcomed the decision to proscribe the group, saying “there have long been serious concerns about Hizb ut-Tahrir” Shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper said they have been “exacerbated in light of Hamas’ barbaric terrorist attack on Israel”.
