ALJAZEERA :
An Egyptian court has declared Hamas a “terrorist” organisation, weeks after the Palestinian movement’s armed wing was given the same designation, reports said.
A judicial source told AFP news agency that the court issued the verdict on Saturday, a ruling seen as keeping with a systematic
crackdown on Islamist groups by President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi.
The verdict resulted from two separate private suits filed by two lawyers against the de facto rulers of the Gaza Strip.
In an interview with Al Jazeera, Ghazi Hamad, a deputy foreign minister, rejected the court decision as “very dangerous.”
