The Muslim Brotherhood may soon be designated as a foreign terrorist organization, and a congressional national security panel on July 11 looked at options for how this designation will work.

“This hearing is an opportunity to discuss what the United States’ next step should be in combating the Muslim Brotherhood’s threat,” said Congressman Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.), chairman of the Subcommittee on National Security of the House oversight committee, in a release.
