The President

Executive Order 14362 of November 24, 2025

Designation of Certain Muslim Brotherhood Chapters as For-

eign 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 Nation-

ality 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 amend-

ed.

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 Brother-

hood 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 Brother-

hood 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
