Following evidence that they were involved in inciting against Egypt, the Turkish government decided to add a number of Brotherhood-affiliated journalists and broadcasters who resided on its territory to the list of terrorist organisations.
The Brotherhood’s journalists and broadcasters were listed by the Turkish government as international terrorists under the G-87 code and as a threat to national security, and they were also informed that Egypt wanted them for their ties to terrorist organisations.
People who represent a risk to the public’s safety are subject to severe restrictions on their activities, movements, and movements under this code, according to Turkish legislation.
While sources told “Al-Arabin” that Hossam Al-Ghamri, who works on the Al-Sharq channel, as well as others, like a journalist and poet named Mohamed Ibrahim, and the wife of an Egyptian artist living in Turkey as well as The group in Istanbul, were included under this Egyptian media code.
These changes followed the detention of several Muslim Brotherhood members and broadcasters who were living in Turkey as a result of their cooperation with two new satellite channels set up by the organisation to sow unrest in Egypt and their willingness to launch a third satellite channel on the Telegram app.

net sources confirmed that the detention of the Turkish authorities for about 34 Brotherhood elements, including those who manage accounts and pages on the communication sites inciting against Egypt and mobilize chaos inside the country, noting that the number that was stopped is the largest and warns of the proximity of taking another decision to deport them from Turkish lands.

By launching the Telegram programme, the group’s detainees were allegedly getting ready to start a third satellite channel.
The “Vision” programme on the “Al-Sharq” satellite channel, hosted by the journalist Hossam Al-Ghamri, should be stopped and prevented from appearing again on screens or media platforms from Istanbul, for not adhering to the instructions of Ankara. This is noteworthy because the Turkish authorities had decided the framework of their efforts for reconciliation with Cairo and to prevent the Brotherhood’s attempts to criticise the Egyptian authorities.
In light of the passing of Field Marshal Mohamed Hussein Tantawi, Egypt’s former military council chief and minister of defence, Al-Ghamri condemned the government of Egypt.
In March of last year, the Turkish authorities requested the restriction of the Brotherhood’s satellite channels, which are broadcast from Istanbul and preventing their criticism of Egypt, and prevented the emergence of the Brotherhood’s media and broadcaster Haitham Abu Khalil.
Four Brotherhood broadcasters, including Moataz Matar, Muhammad Nasser, Hamza Zobaa, and the artist Hisham Abdullah, were also detained and cautioned not to disobey their orders.
It is significant that when Turkey announced the reopening of diplomatic relations with Egypt in March of last year, the Brotherhood media present on Turkish soil was ordered to cease operations.
For the first time since 2013, a Turkish group led by Deputy Foreign Minister Sadat Onal travelled to Cairo. There, they met with Egyptian diplomats under the leadership of Deputy Foreign Minister Hamdi Sanad Loza to discuss reconciliation and the restoration of relations.
Turkey is listed among the Brotherhood broadcasters on the terrorism watch lists who incited against Egypt.
