Order prohibiting terrorist group from operating across Gaza border in neighboring Egypt signals increase in measures to crackdown on Sinai terror; Hamas condemns ruling as "targeting the Palestinian cause."
Great news and good to see Egypt taking its country back from all sorts of outside interferences.
CAIRO - An Egyptian court on Tuesday banned all activities of Hamas in Egypt, a judge said, in another sign that security forces plan to squeeze the Palestinian militant group that runs the neighboring Gaza Strip.
"The court has ordered the banning of Hamas work and activities in Egypt," the judge, who asked to remain anonymous, told Reuters.
Egyptian authorities see Hamas a major security threat, accusing the group of supporting al-Qaida-inspired Islamist insurgents in the Sinai peninsula, allegations it denies.
The court also ordered the closure of Hamas offices in Egypt, one of the judges overseeing the case told Reuters.
