Ror this one I think they advertised somewhere that the groups would still be available if you download the apk from their website, I did this and I can still see the hamas group

Hama's has a public telegram channel? That seems like a legal liability

iirc they need to comply with google store policies, but when downloading the apk directly that is not relevant.

Great, I didn't know that. They 'ban' the Russian news channels that way as well.
