Those glorifying Hamas terrorists will face full force of the law, warns Sunak

Visiting a Jewish school in north London this morning, Rishi Sunak said the Government would do “everything in our power” to keep the Jewish community safe as police investigated whether a public order offence was committed at the rally on Saturday.

Detectives were appealing for help identifying two women who displayed images of paragliders on their jackets. Hamas terrorists flew into Israel before killing at least 260 people at the Supernova music festival in the desert near Kibbutz Re’im. The two women brazenly paraded towards Trafalgar Square.

Mr Sunak said: “Hamas is a proscribed terrorist organisation. It’s very clear under the law, the support and glorification of Hamas is illegal, and those offences are punishable with up to almost 14 years in jail.

“But it’s not just about Hamas, more broadly actions that incite violence or stir up religious hatred and racial violence are also not acceptable and that’s why there’s no place in our society for that type of hatred and division, and it will be met with the full force of the law where it happens.”
