Qatari funding, Hamas ties: How the Muslim Brotherhood fuels antisemitism across Europe
Israel’s Ministry for Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism on Thursday released a report alleging that the Muslim Brotherhood is working across Europe to fuel antisemitism and efforts to delegitimize Israel while maintaining ties to Hamas, which is designated as a terrorist organization by the United States and the European Union.
The report says a broad European network of organizations linked directly or indirectly to the Muslim Brotherhood operates in Sweden, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Austria, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Spain, Ireland and other countries. According to the ministry, the groups help finance the Islamist movement and maintain direct and indirect connections to terrorist organizations, with an emphasis on Hamas.
The ministry said intelligence agencies and governments in Western Europe are aware of what it described as the threat posed by the Muslim Brotherhood. Security services across Europe view the network of organizations affiliated with the movement as inherently anti-democratic and seeking to fundamentally reshape society and governance, the report said. Despite that, it said, several governments continue to engage in dialogue and cooperation with such bodies.
Among the organizations cited is Interpal, a British-based charity that has been designated by the United States as a terrorist organization. The report says Interpal is headed by Ibrahim Hewitt, a British convert to Islam who has denied the Holocaust and promotes a strict interpretation of Islamic law, and Issam Youssef Mustafa, whom it describes as a key figure linking the organization to the broader Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas networks worldwide.
