An Egyptian court listed the Palestinian group Hamas as a terrorist organization, Egyptian state television said on Saturday.
Hamas is an offshoot of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood which the authorities have also declared a terrorist group and have repressed systematically since the army ousted one of its leaders, Mohamed Morsy, from the presidency in 2013.
Egyptian security has accused the Palestinian faction of involvement in a series of deadly attacks on police and army personnel in the Sinai Peninsula since Morsy's ouster, accusations persistently denied by group leaders.
