Report: Muslim Brothers in Europe mobilize for Hamas

Cairo - According to a news report published this week, Muslim Brothers in Europe met to promote and fundraise for Palestinaian Islamic movement Hamas.

Reporter 'Avi Issacharoff' , the Times of Israel's Middle East analyst, said in a recent report that Hamas is building global infrastructure to challenge Palestinian Authority and Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) who are standing as Palestinians’ sole legitimate representative.

Analysing the Palestinians Abroad Conference convened, last Febrauary, the reporter thinks that it was held not with the purported goal of promoting global support for the Palestinians but actually to bolster the status of Hamas in the international arena.
Issacharoff added that it became clear that many of the organizers and attendees had something else in common: they are known to have been members — for decades — of Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated networks all over Europe.
According to the reporter, this was not the first conference of its kind. Many like it have taken place in recent years. Many of the same faces are present — including current and past members of the Muslim Brotherhood, at a more or less official level, and current and past members of Hamas.

He added that their shared goal is to promote international legitimacy for Hamas — in Europe, Africa, the Middle East (of course) and even in Latin America — in a bid to challenge the PLO’s international standing as the sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people.
