Muhammad Mukhtār Gum’ah, Minister of Endowments, requested listing al- Jazīrah as a terrorist sponsoring organization. He added that this is due to the support it gives to terrorist groups by spreading a discourse inciting violence in Egypt.

The Urgent Affairs Court postponed its ruling on a lawsuit accusing al- Jazīrah and al- Jazīrah Mubāshir Misr channels of being terrorist sponsoring channels to its session on April 8^th (Nāddir Abu al- Futtūh et al,  al- Ahrām, April 2, 2014). Read original text in Arabic.
