CAIRO - 15 December 2020: Egyptian TV presenter, Lamis El Hadidi, said on Monday that sources revealed that Egypt had provided the Gulf countries with accurate information on the movements of the Muslim Brotherhood(MB) terrorist organization on their lands.

 

She explained in the program "One Last Word", that the Brotherhood has recruited very dangerous elements in the Gulf region, and that they are planning to establish major economic projects in the Gulf.

 

She indicated that Brotherhood-affiliated organizations are pumping funds ... These funds still penetrate civil societies and Arab communities in Europe, adding that investigations revealed that Brotherhood members who had been deported from Kuwait had coordinated with the Muslim Brotherhood in Turkey.

 

Egypt has designated the Muslim Brotherhood group as terrorist since late in 2013, after former President Mohamed Morsi, who also served as head of the "terrorist" group, was ousted. Morsi died in June 2019 after he collapsed in court during his trial.

 

On Monday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed Egypt's rejection of targeting an oil tanker in the port of Jeddah in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, via a booby-trapped boat, which resulted in damage to the ship.

 

In a statement, the Foreign Ministry said: "Egypt reaffirms its total condemnation and rejection of any terrorist acts targeting the regional waters and vital installations of Saudi Arabia, as they represent a threat to the security and stability of the Kingdom and the security and freedom of navigation and international trade."

 

The statement added, "Egypt also reaffirms its steadfast position in supporting the Kingdom in the measures it takes to defend its lands, sovereignty, and stability, as well as its endeavor to confront all forms of terrorism and its supporters."

 

The Muslim Brotherhood has been labeled a terrorist group by several countries. Recently, the UAE Fatwa Council has labeled the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization.
 
 
The Saudi Council of Senior Scholars (CSS) also described the group as a terrorist group. According to the official Saudi Press Agency (SPA) as quoting the statement, the council explained that the Muslim Brotherhood group "blindly follows partisan objectives that are running contrary to the guidance of our graceful religion, while taking religion as a mask to disguise its purposes in order to practice the opposite such as sedition, wreaking havoc, committing violence and terrorism."
 
 
In Egypt, Grand Mufti Shawki Allam announced that belonging to the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood group is religiously forbidden due to its ideologies that call for inciting violence.
 
 
In an interview with Nathra talk show on Sada al-Balad T.V., Allam said that all terrorist groups like the Muslim Brotherhood represent a threat and there is religious evidence of prohibiting the belonging to terrorist groups.
 
 
In Tunisia, opposition figure and President of the Free Destourian Party (PDL) Abir Moussi has announced her bloc’s decision to submit of a new draft resolution designating the Muslim Brotherhood, as a “terrorist organization.”
 
 
Speaking during a news conference, Moussi said the draft resolution demands the government to formally “classify the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization that is hostile to the civil state”.
 
 
The draft resolution also calls the state to “consider any person or entity that has connections to this organization in Tunisia as being guilty of a terrorism-related crime.”
