  "account": "On Thursday, the European Parliament passed a resolution urging a unified European strategy to tackle \"Islamist entryism\" and recommend adding the Muslim Brotherhood to the EU's terror list. The motion, Resolution P10_TA(2026)0342, garnered 381 votes in favor, 167 against, and 15 abstentions.\n\nIslamist entryism, as defined by the resolution, is an \"unacceptable form of covert and malicious interference\" targeting democratic institutions, the rule of law, public neutrality, and various freedoms. The document criticizes Islamist entryism for challenging women's rights, gender equality, sexual health and reproductive rights, LGBTIQ+ rights, equality, faith freedom, free speech, public order, and social cohesion.\n\nThe resolution emphasizes the Parliament's stance against legitimizing networks that undermine well-established civil institutions. It urges EU Member States to establish a uniform European method for recognizing Islamist entryism, including the identification of \"doublespeak\" in religious and political discourse. Moreover, it requests the Council to include entities and individuals associated with the Muslim Brotherhood on the EU's terrorist organizations list.\n\nThe resolution also seeks greater oversight of EU funding and enhanced safeguards to prevent financial resources from funding entities or organizations that could jeopardize democratic institutions and fundamental freedoms. It specifically targets Qatar and Turkey for heightened scrutiny regarding foreign funding.\n\nMassad Boulos, Trump's Senior Advisor for Arab and African Affairs, expressed his approval of the resolution's adoption on X/Twitter. He stated that the United States is taking \"decisive action\" against Muslim Brotherhood chapters involved in terrorism and destabilizing activities. He further encouraged continued collaboration with European partners to combat terrorism, disrupt violent extremist networks, and safeguard shared security.",
