US designates Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan as terrorists.

The United States has designated Muslim Brotherhood organizations in Egypt, Lebanon, and Jordan as terrorist groups, intensifying its crackdown on Israel’s rivals worldwide. President Donald Trump’s executive order prompted this decision, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio emphasizing efforts to thwart violence and destabilization by these chapters. The designations prohibit material support, restrict members from entering the US, and impose economic sanctions to cut off revenue streams. Established in 1928 by Hassan al-Banna, the Muslim Brotherhood has branches in the Middle East, claiming commitment to peaceful political participation.
