The US State Department said on Wednesday it had designated Ismail Haniyeh, leader of the Islamist Palestinian group Hamas, as a terrorist.<\/span><\/p>\n

The State Department said in a statement that Haniyeh, along with two Islamist groups active in Egypt and one in the Palestinian territories, were listed as specially designated global terrorists.<\/span><\/p>\n

It quoted Secretary of State Rex Tillerson as saying the designations \u201ctarget key terrorist groups and leaders \u2014 including two sponsored and directed by Iran \u2014 who are threatening the stability of the Middle East, undermining the peace process, and attacking our allies Egypt and Israel.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In Gaza, Hamas official Sami Abu Zuhri told Reuters: \u201cWe reject and condemn the decision and we see it as a reflection of the domination by a gang of Zionists of the American decision.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe decision is worthless,\u201d he added.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hamas, which rules the Gaza Strip, advocates Israel\u2019s destruction and is designated as a terrorist group by the US and some other Western countries.<\/span><\/p>\n

In December, after President Donald Trump recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, Haniyeh told a rally in Gaza marking the 30th anniversary of Hamas\u2019s founding: \u201cWe will knock down Trump\u2019s decision. No superpower is capable of offering Jerusalem to Israel, there is no Israel that it should have a capital named Jerusalem.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The three groups designated by the State Department are:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2014 Harakat al-Sabireen, which the statement said is backed by Iran, operates primarily in Gaza and the West Bank, and fired rockets into Israel;<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2014 Liwa al-Thawra, which it said has claimed responsibility for killing an Egyptian army general in Cairo in 2016 and a bombing in 2017;<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2014 Harakat Sawa\u2019d Misr (HASM), which it said claimed responsibility for killing an Egyptian security officer and other attacks.<\/span><\/p>\n

The State Department designations deny Haniyeh and the three groups access to the US financial system.<\/span><\/p>\n
