Overview
- The Milei administration designated the Egyptian, Lebanese and Jordanian branches of the Muslim Brotherhood as terrorist organizations.
- The groups were added to Argentina’s RePET registry, enabling asset freezes and restrictions within the financial system.
- Officials said the move follows reports of terrorism, incitement to violent extremism and links to other designated groups.
- The decision came a day after the U.S. imposed parallel designations, citing support for militant activity including backing Hamas.
- The UAE embassy in Buenos Aires welcomed the step as part of broader efforts to counter violent and destabilizing activities.
