Hamas slams EU's appeal to keep it on terror list

The Hamas movement on Monday slammed the European union   (EU) for contesting the decision of the EU High Court of Justice to oust the Islamic group from the world list of terrorist organizations.

Hamas spokesman in Gaza Sami Abu Zuhri said in an e-mailed press statement that the EU's insistence to keep Hamas in the list of terrorism reflects how the bloc is officially biased to the Israeli occupation.

"The EU decision to contest the EU court is a denial to democracy and gives the Israeli occupation the green light to commit more crimes against the Palestinian people," Abu Zuhri said.

He called on the EU to "listen to the voice of justice issued by the EU court instead of responding to the Zionist pressures."

An EU spokeswoman earlier announced that the EU decided to appeal against the EU court's decision of ousting Hamas from the world list of terrorism, following a meeting of EU foreign ministers in Brussels.

On Dec. 17, the EU High Court of Justice decided to oust the Hamas movement from the list of world's terrorist organizations, saying that keeping Hamas in the list "contradicts with the laws of the EU."

Hamas has been responsible for dozens of suicide bombing attacks in Israel, in which hundreds of Israelis have been killed. Israel in returned has waged a series of offensives on the Hamas movement and killed thousands of Palestinians.
