European Parliament Backs Calls to Put Muslim Brotherhood Entities on Terrorist List
Lawmakers urged a common EU strategy to curb infiltration, end public funding and track 381 votes backing the resolution.
- On Thursday, the European Parliament approved a resolution calling on the European Union to designate the Muslim Brotherhood and affiliated entities as terrorist organizations, with the measure passing 381-167 and 15 abstentions.
- Avi Cohen-Scali, director general of Israel's Ministry for Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism, stated the Brotherhood operates through deceptive "double messaging," projecting moderation while pursuing radical goals including efforts to Islamize Europe.
- Israeli officials warned that Brotherhood-created groups seek to expand influence "from the bottom up" across Europe by investing heavily in education and youth engagement, operating through a "core leadership nucleus" coordinating activities.
- Lawmakers called on the European Council to develop a joint strategy countering what they termed "Islamist entryism," including ending public funding for fundamentalist groups and increasing oversight of civil society organizations.
- Founded in 1928 by Hassan Banna, the movement encompasses Hamas, the Palestinian group that perpetrated the Oct. 7, 2023 invasion of Israel; security services remain vigilant that radical agendas continue advancing beyond public oversight.
