An Egyptian court has ruled that the Palestinian resistant movement Hamas is a terrorist organization.
In late January a court declared the armed wing of the organization, Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, a terrorist group and banned it.
There were subsequent protests by Hamas supporters in the Gaza strip against the decision.
Egypt's President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi has cracked down on Islamist groups in the country. Hamas is connected to the Muslim Brotherhood which has also been blacklisted.
