OFFICIAL STATEMENT

OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE ARGENTINE REPUBLIC




City of Buenos Aires, January 14, 2026. — The Office of the President reports that the National Government has declared the chapters of Lebanon, Egypt, and Jordan of the “Muslim Brotherhood” to be terrorist organizations.



Within the framework of the international commitments assumed by the Argentine Republic in the fight against terrorism and its financing, and in compliance with current national regulations, the National Government ordered the incorporation of these chapters of the “Muslim Brotherhood” into the Public Registry of Persons and Entities Linked to Acts of Terrorism and Their Financing (RePET).



This decision, promoted by President Javier G. Milei and adopted in coordination between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of National Security, the Ministry of Justice, and the State Intelligence Secretariat, is based on official reports that confirm illicit activities of a transnational nature, including acts of terrorism, public calls for violent extremism, as well as links to other terrorist organizations and their potential impact on the Argentine Republic.



With this measure, mechanisms for the prevention, early detection, and sanctioning of terrorism and those who finance it are strengthened, so that members of the “Muslim Brotherhood” and its allies cannot operate freely. Additionally, it reinforces international cooperation with other countries that have designated this group as a terrorist organization, such as the United States, Israel, Paraguay, the United Arab Emirates, and Egypt, the country where this group originated, among others.



The President of the Nation maintains an unbreakable commitment to recognizing terrorists for what they are, as he has done with Hamas and more recently with the Cartel of the Suns. This Government is convinced that Argentina is once again aligning itself with Western civilization, respectful of individual rights and its institutions, while condemning and confronting head-on those who seek to destroy it.
