Muhammad Sawalha

As it reads on Wikipedia · 1 finding marked in the text · see twenty years of this article's openings

Mohammad Kathem Rashid Maruf Sawalha (born 21 July 1961), also known by the name Abu Obada, is a former leader of Hamas in the West Bank. He is the president of British Muslim Initiative (BMI) and currently resides in London. He is accused of supervising the allocation and supply of large amounts of money to Hamas operatives, an allegation that led to his being named in a 2004 U.S. indictment against Hamas operative Muhammad Salah. In addition to his work with Hamas and BMI, Sawalha is a frequent guest on the Al-Hiwar television station, and is affiliated with numerous Palestinian and Islamic charities. He has had a hand in organizing several of the flotillas and land convoys attempting to reach the Gaza Strip, through which he has transferred financial aid. Sawalha helped found the Muslim Association of Britain.

What the highlighted wording does

㉓ Reviewed in the sweep
Muhammad Sawalha is a former Hamas leader in the West Bank who now lives in London as president of the British Muslim Initiative, named in a 2004 US indictment over the funneling of money to Hamas operatives. Through October 6, 2023 the opening said he signed the 2009 Istanbul Declaration, which "reaffirms resistance as a valid means to oppose Israeli state terrorism, illegal occupation and war crimes against the civilian Palestinian population." Today the word does not appear in the opening at all, surviving once in the body, and the opening no longer mentions the declaration or that he heads the British Muslim Initiative. A reader today does not learn that Sawalha personally signed a document endorsing armed resistance against what it called Israeli state terrorism.
