He described the Palestinian group Hamas in London as "terrorist". It was outlawed.
British Home Secretary Pretty Patel has announced that she has outlawed the Palestinian organization Hamas, a move that aligns the country's stance on the Gaza rulers with that of the United States and the European Union, which consider Hamas a terrorist organization.
"Hamas has significant terrorist capabilities, including access to extensive and advanced weapons, as well as terrorist training facilities," Patel said in a statement.
"That's the reason I acted today for a total ban on Hamas," he said.
Britain has already outlawed Hamas's military wing, the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigade.
