Saudi Arabia welcomes US decision to designate Muslim Brotherhood as global terrorist entity

  • The Saudi foreign ministry said in a statement on X the Kingdom affirms its condemnation of extremism and terrorism

DUBAI: Saudi Arabia on Wednesday welcomed a decision by the United States to designate the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, Jordan, and Lebanon as a global terrorist organization.

The Saudi Foreign Ministry said in a statement on X: “The Kingdom affirms its condemnation of extremism and terrorism, and its support for all that achieves the security of Arab countries, their stability and prosperity, and the security of the region and the world.”

The US administration labeled the groups in Jordan and Egypt as “specially designated global terrorists,” and blacklisted the Lebanese organization as a “foreign terrorist organization.”

The decision on Tuesday came weeks after President Donald Trump issued an executive order directing his administration to start the process of blacklisting the groups.
