Washington, November 25 (Xinhua) — US President Donald Trump on Monday signed an executive order to begin the process of designating several Muslim Brotherhood branches, including those in Lebanon, Jordan and Egypt, as foreign terrorist organizations and global terrorists.
“President Trump is confronting the transnational Muslim Brotherhood network, which fuels terrorism and destabilization campaigns against U.S. interests and allies in the Middle East,” the White House said in a fact sheet released Monday.
The decree states that the military wing of the Lebanese Muslim Brotherhood, along with Hamas, Hezbollah, and Palestinian groups, repeatedly launched rocket attacks on Israel after October 7, 2023, and that a senior leader of the Egyptian branch called for attacks on US partners that day. The document also accuses leaders of the Jordanian Muslim Brotherhood of long-term material support for Hamas.
“It is U.S. policy to work with regional partners to disrupt the capabilities and operations of Muslim Brotherhood affiliates designated as foreign terrorist organizations,” the order states.
According to the document, the Secretaries of State and Treasury must submit a joint report to Donald Trump within 30 days with recommendations on which branches of the organization should be included on the terrorist list. Final decisions must be made within 45 days after that.
Founded in Egypt in 1928, the Muslim Brotherhood movement has evolved into a transnational network with branches throughout the Middle East and beyond. It was previously banned in Egypt and Jordan.
