The U.S. Treasury and State Departments designated several chapters of the Muslim Brotherhood as foreign terrorist organizations (FTOs) or specially designated global terrorists (SDGTs) on Tuesday.

The State Department has designated the Lebanese Muslim Brotherhood as an FTO and SDGT, and its leader, Muhammad Fawzi Taqqosh, as an SDGT, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced in a statement.

Meanwhile, the Treasury Department has determined the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood and the Jordanian Muslim Brotherhood to be “SDGTs for providing material support to Hamas,” he added.

The designations come after President Donald Trump ordered a review of Muslim Brotherhood chapters for designation as FTOs or SGDTs in late November.

“These designations reflect the opening actions of an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart Muslim Brotherhood chapters’ violence and destabilization wherever it occurs,” Rubio said.

“The United States will use all available tools to deprive these Muslim Brotherhood chapters of the resources to engage in or support terrorism,” he added.

Undersecretary of the Treasury for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence John. K. Hurley issued a statement as well, noting that the Egyptian and Jordanian chapters “have conspired to support Hamas’s terrorism” and undermined their national governments’ sovereignty:
