The governments of the US and UK are reviewing the designation of HTS as a terrorist organisation so we can “deepen our contact” with Syria’s new rulers. For context, the US did not remove Nelson Mandela from the terrorist watch list until 2008.

She couldn't give a definition of a 'proscribed' organisation
I suspect that's because any definition they gave would be used against them.
The IOF are the epitome the nadir, the worst of any possible organisation but our Gov have to provide cover.

If they aren't prepared to label Israel or Netanyau or the IDF as terrorists but they are any group that fights back against them, it is not a useful word
