Trump Designates Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan as Terrorist Groups

The Trump administration officially labels the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, Lebanon, and Jordan as terrorist groups, marking a significant move in Washington's efforts against entities viewed as threats to Israel. The Muslim Brotherhood, founded in 1928 by Egyptian scholar Hassan al Banna, has branches across the Middle East and has faced crackdowns in various countries.

The group's involvement in political activities and alleged plots have led to its outlawing in some nations, including Egypt where former President Moham Morsi was overthrown and imprisoned in 2019.
