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.

Achieving a lasting ceasefire in Gaza is a top priority, says China's Permanent Representative to the UN

UNITED NATIONS, Nov. 25 (Xinhua) — China's permanent representative to the United Nations Fu Cong said on Monday that achieving a lasting ceasefire in Gaza is a top priority.

China welcomes the agreement on the first phase of the ceasefire in Gaza. However, peace between Palestine and Israel is still far from achieved, and the suffering of residents continues, he stated.

China notes with concern that, despite the ceasefire, violent clashes continue. Israel has reportedly committed over 400 violations of the agreement, resulting in over 300 civilian deaths in Gaza, Fu Cong told the Security Council.

"The ceasefire signifies a complete cessation of all attacks and must be observed by all parties in good faith. Any incident resulting in civilian casualties is unacceptable, and repeated attacks must not become the new norm in Gaza," Fu Cong said. "China calls on all relevant parties, particularly Israel, to fully comply with the ceasefire agreement and work towards achieving a truly comprehensive and lasting peace," he added.

The humanitarian situation in Gaza remains dire, and humanitarian access continues to face numerous obstacles, Fu Cong said. "China calls on Israel to fully comply with its obligations under international humanitarian law, open all crossings, lift restrictions on humanitarian access, and ensure that the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East and other humanitarian agencies can carry out their relief operations," the Chinese diplomat stated.

Any future agreements on Gaza must be guided by the principle of "Palestinians governing Palestine" and respect the will of the Palestinian people. The international community must redouble its efforts to advance the "two-state solution," oppose any unilateral actions that undermine it, and support the swift establishment of an independent Palestinian state and its full membership in the UN, Fu Cong emphasized.

China consistently and firmly supports the just cause of the Palestinian people to restore their legitimate national rights. China will continue to promote an early, comprehensive, just, and lasting solution to the Palestinian issue, Fu Cong noted.

Review: US and Ukraine have reduced their 28-point peace plan to 19 points – media

WASHINGTON, November 25 (Xinhua) — The US-proposed peace plan for resolving the Ukrainian crisis was cut from 28 to 19 points following talks between the US and Ukraine in Geneva over the weekend, multiple media reported on Monday.

"Many controversial provisions were either softened or at least reformulated" to bring the document closer to Kyiv's position or to reduce demands on Ukraine, The Washington Post quotes Ukrainian official Alexander Bevz, who participated in the Geneva talks, as saying.

He added that US President Donald Trump's Thursday deadline for reaching an agreement on the 28-point plan now appears more flexible than before.

“This is not a ‘code red’; it is much more important to finalise the text,” noted A. Bevz.

Ukraine's First Deputy Foreign Minister Serhiy Kyslytsya told the Financial Times that the new draft bears little resemblance to the 28-point version released.

“Very little remains of the original version,” he said.

According to several media reports, the new draft leaves the resolution of the most contentious issues to the discretion of Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

The previous 28-point agreement stipulated that Ukraine would cede territories in the east, reduce its armed forces, and renounce NATO membership. These demands crossed several long-standing "red lines" for Kyiv and drew criticism from Ukraine and European countries.

Representatives from the United States, Ukraine and European countries met in Geneva on Sunday as the White House pressed for progress on the 28-point plan.

Following the Ukrainian delegation's meeting with the national security advisers of Great Britain, France, and Germany, the Ukrainian side held bilateral talks with US representatives.

According to media reports, the US delegation at the Geneva meeting included Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Special Envoy for the Middle East Steve Witkoff, and Secretary of the Army Daniel Driscoll. The Ukrainian delegation was led by Andriy Yermak, Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine.

A joint statement released by the White House on Sunday evening said talks between US and Ukrainian officials in Geneva "led to significant progress in reconciling positions."

According to Newsweek, the Kremlin said it had not received official information from Geneva and was not planning talks with US representatives this week.

D. Trump set Thursday as the deadline for reaching an agreement with Kiev on a framework document, but admitted that negotiations could continue after that date if progress is made. –0–
