Israel's Channel 10 international affairs reporter tweets:




I couldn't find any document listing terror groups on the webpage of the European Court of Human Rights. The only mention I saw of Hamas was peripheral to a discussion of hate speech.

However, 124News reports:
The European Court of Justice is due to debate whether placing Hamas placed on the list of terror organizations was done according to procedure or whether it should be voided.
This makes more sense, the ECJ does have Hamas listed on a terror list from 2010.

Eyal clarified:
Apparently, Hamas filed a motion to be removed from this list, and the ECJ agreed that the methodology it used to place it on the list was not as rigorous as they would prefer.

If this is true, it is ironic that such a decision may be made the very week that the group publicly held a burning of a stereotypical Jew, and a model of the Jewish Temple, in effigy. 


And Hamas also declared this weekend in no uncertain terms that they want to increase the amount of terror attacks against Israel.

So if the ECJ really decides that Hamas is not a terror group, they are about as useless a symbol of "human rights" as one can imagine.

UPDATE: Here's the case:
