Egyptian Imam Claims MK Mansour Abbas Leads Southern Muslim Brotherhood Branch

A video circulating on Facebook, uploaded by a user named Mansorle Awon, features an Egyptian imam describing the landscape of Islamic movements within Israel. The video, captioned in Arabic as "The Muslim Brotherhood Organization in Tel Aviv," includes the imam's assertion that a branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, the Islamic Movement, operates within Israel's pre-1967 borders. He identifies Kamal Khatib as its head and Raad Salah as his deputy.

The imam further links Knesset member Mansour Abbas to this movement, describing him as a partner and a member of a party that supports the head of the Muslim Brotherhood in southern Israel. Abbas has consistently denied any affiliation with the Muslim Brotherhood since entering the Knesset. However, the Egyptian imam's statements in the video cast doubt on Abbas's absolute denials and raise questions about the true identity of his political party.
