Lawmakers propose sweeping bill against Muslim Brotherhood after Trump letdown

The U.S. House of Representatives’ Foreign Affairs Committee has advanced a bill to designate all groups affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood as terrorist organizations. The bill, which passed with bipartisan support, is described as more sweeping than a previous executive order by Donald Trump. Unlike the first Trump administration, where Gulf rivalries drove such efforts, this new push is reportedly led by pro-Israel voices and Maga Republicans. The legislation's potential impact is considered in relation to allies like Turkey, where the group is not outlawed, and countries like Egypt and Jordan, which have already banned it.
