Telegraph: security sources say al-Wahwah relatives run its pages
Primary Role
Stand4Palestine is a Sydney pro-Palestine activist platform with more than 65,000 Instagram followers and a WhatsApp group. The Saturday Telegraph (7 March 2026) reported security sources' claims that its Instagram and WhatsApp pages are "run by Anas and Amer al-Wahwah", relatives linked to Hizb ut-Tahrir, and are being used to "covertly leverage" their roles within the group to organise protests. A government source told the paper: "Hizb ut-Tahrir members are using the Stand4Palestine platforms under the veil of activism." Stand4Palestine was contacted for comment.
The Australian reported in October 2024 that Hizb ut-Tahrir announced on Facebook in October 2023 that it was launching the movement, and that HT activists run its media; Stand for Palestine has denied being established by HT. After Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar was killed, it told followers he had "fought until the very end", dying a martyr. Its "promised victory" conference on 19 October 2024, MC'd by Faraz Nomani, heard Ibrahim Dadoun say "we're going to see Islam dominate"; a spokesman said the addresses were "extremely well received" (The Australian, 20 Oct 2024).
