The secretary of state also updated reporters on the administration’s peace plan for Gaza, saying that he expected the formation of new leadership organizations for the enclave “very soon.”
(Dec. 20, 2025 / JNS) U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Friday that he expects his department to announce sanctions on the Muslim Brotherhood as “early as this next week.”
Speaking at a year-end press conference at the State Department, Rubio said that he could not preview which parts of the Brotherhood might face sanctions.
“I’m not going to comment on which segments of the Muslim Brotherhood—as you know, there are different chapters, for lack of a better term, and individuals spread throughout the world,” the secretary said.
