Designation of Certain Muslim Brotherhood Chapters as Foreign Terrorist Organizations and Specially Designated Global Terrorists

Executive Order 14362 of November 24, 2025

Designation of Certain Muslim Brotherhood
Chapters as Foreign Terrorist Organizations and
Specially Designated Global Terrorists

By the authority vested in me as President by the
Constitution and the laws of the United States of
America, including the Immigration and Nationality Act
(8 U.S.C. 1101 et seq.) (INA), and the International
Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.)
(IEEPA), it is hereby ordered:

Section 1. Purpose. This order sets in motion a process
by which certain chapters or other subdivisions of the
Muslim Brotherhood shall be considered for designation
as Foreign Terrorist Organizations, consistent with
section 219 of the INA (8 U.S.C. 1189) and specially
designated global terrorists, consistent with IEEPA (50
U.S.C. 1702), and Executive Order 13224 of September
23, 2001 (Blocking Property and Prohibiting
Transactions with Persons Who Commit, Threaten to
Commit, or Support Terrorism), as amended.

The Muslim Brotherhood, founded in Egypt in 1928, has
developed into a transnational network with chapters
across the Middle East and beyond. Relevant here, its
chapters in Lebanon, Jordan, and Egypt engage in or
facilitate and support violence and destabilization
campaigns that harm their own regions, United States
citizens, and United States interests. For example, in
the aftermath of the October 7, 2023, attack in Israel,
the military wing of the Lebanese chapter of the Muslim
Brotherhood joined Hamas, Hezbollah, and Palestinian
factions to launch multiple rocket attacks against both
civilian and military targets within Israel. A senior
leader of the Egyptian chapter of the Muslim
Brotherhood, on October 7, 2023, called for violent
attacks against United States partners and interests,
and Jordanian Muslim Brotherhood leaders have long
provided material support to the militant wing of
Hamas. Such activities threaten the security of
American civilians in the Levant and other parts of the
Middle East, as well as the safety and stability of our
regional partners.

Sec. 2. Policy. It is the policy of the United States
to cooperate with its regional partners to eliminate
the capabilities and operations of Muslim Brotherhood
chapters designated as foreign terrorist organizations
pursuant to section 3 of this order, deprive those
chapters of resources, and thereby end any threat such
chapters pose to United States nationals or the
national security of the United States.

Sec. 3. Implementation. (a) Within 30 days of the date
of this order, the Secretary of State and the Secretary
of the Treasury, after consultation with the Attorney
General and the Director of National Intelligence,
shall submit a joint report to the President, through
the Assistant to the President for National Security
Affairs, concerning the designation of any Muslim
Brotherhood chapters or other subdivisions, including
those in Lebanon, Jordan, and Egypt, as foreign
terrorist organizations consistent with 8 U.S.C. 1189,
and specially designated global terrorists consistent
with 50 U.S.C. 1702 and Executive Order 13224.

(b) Within 45 days of submitting the report
required by subsection (a) of this section, the
Secretary of State or the Secretary of the Treasury, as
applicable, shall take all appropriate action
consistent with 8 U.S.C. 1189 or 50 U.S.C. 1702 and
Executive Order 13224, as applicable, with regard to
the designation of any Muslim Brotherhood chapters or
other

subdivisions described in section 1 of this order as
foreign terrorist organizations and specially
designated global terrorists.

Sec. 4. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order
shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:

(i) the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or
the head thereof; or

(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget
relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.

(b) This order shall be implemented consistent with
applicable law and subject to the availability of
appropriations.
(c) This order is not intended to, and does not,
create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural,
enforceable at law or in equity by any party against
the United States, its departments, agencies, or
entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any
other person.
(d) The costs for publication of this order shall
be borne by the Department of State.
