US EditionUS: Ted Cruz revives push to label Muslim Brotherhood a 'terror' group
UNITED STATES, JUL 15 – The bill targets violent branches of the Muslim Brotherhood worldwide to impose sanctions and financial restrictions, aiming to formally recognize it as a terrorist group, backed by bipartisan Senate support.
- On Tuesday, Sen. Ted Cruz, Republican senator from Texas, introduced the Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Act of 2025 to designate the group as a Foreign Terrorist Organization.
- Amid failed attempts, the new bill was prompted by U.S. funding of Hamas networks and the group's radical history, as Cruz's office said.
- The bill employs a `bottom-up` approach, Washington Free Beacon, to systematically sanction global branches and mandates Secretary of State Marco Rubio to catalog and designate them.
- Immediately, GOP senators Tom Cotton and Rick Scott support Cruz's bill, which AIPAC and CUFI endorse.
- Under the proposal, Arab allies are expected to welcome U.S. action, one official said, as Rubio must report in 90 days and global response is anticipated.
