Israel looks to outlaw Hizb ut-Tahrir group
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePublic Security Minister Gilad Erdan is working to outlaw the Hizb ut-Tahrir organization, saying its ideology was “identical to Daesh,” the Arabic acronym for the Islamic State jihadist group.
The group campaigns against a Jewish presence on the Temple Mount.
According to a statement from police Monday, its leaders “spread their extremist doctrine, which encourages terrorism and incitement.”
“It is inconceivable for an organization that incites and supports terror, and whose ideology is identical to Daesh, to operate in the State of Israel,” Erdan is quoted as saying in the statement.
