Britain on the cusp of considering officially the entire Hamas as a 'terrorist organization'

Because it can't tell which parts are political and which militant. Hamas does have a 'political wing,' though.

US, Canada and EU already designate Hamas a terrorist group.

The new Israel leadership has been pushing against 'terrorism' and closing NGOs under this justification.

"I think it's actually a fallacy to consider military and political separate. The political wing is integral in helping the military wing in terrorist organizations." - Anne Herzberg

Included in the political move, if it passes (and Boris is considered to be pro-Israel) is criminal liability including jail punishment for people who support Hamas (as a 'terrorist organization'). This will affect all groups doing fundraising, meetings, media coverage. A Cambridge University professor commented that it affects teachers and how they teach, and that there has already been challenges to them and their freedom of expression, and the Hamas classification would add to that. She said England's Palestinian community of about 5000 would not any longer be able to speak freely about this issue.
