The party aims to establish a worldwide caliphate and some of its members have made very radical statements about Israel since the HAMAS attack of 7 October 2023. The party is banned in a number of States. Nevertheless, there is no evidence that any of its members were involved in the terrorist attacks. Experts consider the 2003 decision of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, which banned Hizb ut-Tahrir, to be unjustified.
