AMMAN — The committee entrusted with dissolving the Muslim Brotherhood in Jordan urged any person who owns any assets belonging to the entity to contact them within a month to rectify their status.
The committee's call was made based on the Court of Cassation's decision in February 2020, to consider the Muslim Brotherhood society that was established June 16, 1953 legally dissolved.
'Individuals who own assets that is affiliated with the dissolved Muslim Brotherhood society should contact the designated committee that was established by the Ministry of Social Development within one month,' secretary general of the Ministry of Social Development, head of the committee, said.
Otherwise 'these individuals will be held accountable under the law,' he said in a circular obtained by The Jordan Times.
On April 23, Interior Minister Mazen Faraya announced the immediate enforcement of the law provisions on the so-called dissolved Muslim Brotherhood by considering it an illegal association.
'We decided to close all headquarters or premises that are used by the Muslim Brotherhood or sites that are shared with other entities, under penalty of legal accountability,' Faraya said at the time.
He also announced during a press conference the banning of all activities related to the so-called Muslim Brotherhood and considered it an illegal association.
Faraya called on the committee that is entrusted with seizing all assets related to the Muslim Brotherhood to expedite the process in accordance with the law.
The minister also stressed that membership in the so-called dissolved Muslim Brotherhood is prohibited, as well as the spreading of its ideologies.
He added that legal action will be taken against any individual or entity if the current investigations into the terror-related cases that were announced last week prove that there are connections with the suspects or the alleged plots.
On April 15, the General Intelligence Department (GID) announced that 16 men, including some who were members of the Muslim Brotherhood, allegedly planned to cause chaos and sabotage acts in Jordan.
The group was charged with terrorism and manufacturing explosive substances against the suspects involved in alleged plots targeting Jordan's national security.
The GID had said that the 16 men were arrested following close intelligence monitoring since 2021.
Their alleged plans included manufacturing short-range rockets using local tools as well as tools imported for illegal purposes, possession of explosives and firearms, concealing a rocket ready to be deployed, planning to manufacture drones and recruiting and training operatives in Jordan as well as training them abroad, the GID said.
The interior minister said during the press briefing that on the day the authorities announced the arrest of the 16 individuals, Muslim Brotherhood members destroyed a large number of documents in an attempt to hide their suspicious activities and connections.
Some of the suspects appeared on national television, where they reportedly confessed to their affiliation with the Muslim Brotherhood and their alleged roles in manufacturing missiles, drones and recruiting others to join them.

Ukraine launches major drone strike on Russian strategic airbase
ALBAWABA - Mahmoud Mardawi, a senior Hamas official, has openly disclosed the reasons for the recent collapse of ceasefire talks in Gaza, accusing Israel of rejecting previously agreed agreements and making last-minute demands for adjustments that Hamas found intolerable. "After weeks of serious talks with U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff, Hamas accepted a draft proposal that met the bare minimum of Palestinian national goals and civilian protection," Mardawi said in a comprehensive post on X. According to Mardawi, Israel's answer to the U.S. envoy's offer to show the framework to the Israeli side was a rejection of further negotiations. Rather, Israel requested that the Americans send the text back to Hamas as a last resort, eliminating any chance for debate or revision. According to Mardawi, the version that Israel requested included significant errors that compromised the main objectives of any truce. Among them were the lack of a firm commitment to a permanent cessation of military operations, a guaranteed departure from Gaza, guarantees of ongoing humanitarian assistance, and no legally enforceable commitments over the seventh day of the planned ceasefire, when the release of Israeli detainees was anticipated. Head of the Security Service of Ukraine Vasyl Maliuk delivered a report regarding today's operation. An absolutely brilliant result. A result achieved solely by Ukraine. One year, six months, and nine days from the start of planning to effective execution. Our most long-range… — Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський (@ZelenskyyUa) June 1, 2025 At first, Hamas reacted with cautious support despite such flaws. Mardawi emphasized that although the group accepted the idea in theory, they opposed using it as justification for further hardship, famine, and evictions. In order to guarantee a real cessation of hostilities, the provision of sustained relief, the repatriation of displaced people, and a sincere Israeli commitment to leave the Strip, Hamas requested changes. According to Mardawi, Hamas was taken aback by the fact that the required modifications were exactly in line with the verbal agreement reached with the U.S. ambassador. Although Washington had previously supported the framework, it called Hamas's stance a setback and "unacceptable." Hamas is not undermining peace efforts, Mardawi said. He underlined that the group's position is based on preserving fundamental human dignity and safeguarding civilians. He reaffirmed Hamas's readiness to achieve a ceasefire that ends the conflict and ensures genuine aid for Gaza and urged international players to focus their pressure on Israel rather than those defending their people.
