Arab League Secretary General Nabil al-Araby said that application of the
classification of the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist group is subject to
the evaluation of each state due to the large rift between the international
law and its application.

“But we will notify all Arab states,” he said at a press conference on
Sunday.

In response to a question about the impact of this matter on relations
between the Arab countries, al-Araby said that each country has its own
policy. “We cannot dictate to them what to do,” he said, adding that 17 Arab
countries have signed the binding Arab Convention Against Terrorism.

The Egyptian government last week said it had labeled the Brotherhood a
terrorist organization following a bombing in Mansoura, that killed 16
people. Though a known terrorist group, Ansar Bayt al-Maqdes, claimed
responsibility for the attack, the government has placed blame on the
Brotherhood.
