Saturday 28 Feb 2015 - 19:30 Makkah mean time-9-5-1436  Gaza City (IINA) - An Egyptian court decision to list Hamas as a terrorist organization is "shocking and dangerous," the movement said in a statement on Saturday, Reuters reported.
"The Egyptian court's decision to list the Hamas movement as a terror organization is shocking and is dangerous, and it targets the Palestinian people and its factions of resistance," the statement said. "It will have no influence on the Hamas movement, which enjoys the respect of all the nation and the leaders of the nation."
An Egyptian court has declared Hamas a "terrorist" organization, weeks after the Palestinian movement's armed wing was given the same designation, reports said. A judicial source told AFP news agency that the court issued the verdict on Saturday. Since Egypt's military ousted former President Mohamed Morsi in 2013, the authorities have accused Hamas of aiding armed groups, who have waged a string of deadly attacks on security forces in the Sinai Peninsula.
