President Trump has signed an executive order initiating the process to designate specific Muslim Brotherhood chapters in Lebanon, Egypt, and Jordan as terrorist organizations. The administration claims these factions support attacks against Israel and US allies in the Middle East. If implemented, this designation would impose sanctions against one of the Arab world's oldest and most influential Islamist movements.
