US Muslim Brotherhood Joins Protesters Targeting Trump-Netanyahu Meeting

Pro-Pales­tin­ian pro­test­ers gath­ered out­side the White House on Sun­day and Mon­day ahead of Prime Min­is­ter Netanyahu’s meet­ing with Pres­i­dent Trump on Mon­day evening. The main protests were coor­di­nat­ed by the Pales­tin­ian Youth Move­ment and the Par­ty for Social­ism and Lib­er­a­tion, but oth­er par­tic­i­pat­ing groups includ­ed the Mus­lim Amer­i­can Soci­ety, Amer­i­can Mus­lims for Pales­tine and Jew­ish Voic­es for Peace. This is the third vis­it of the Israeli pre­mier to the US since Trump’s inau­gu­ra­tion at the start of 2025. Images from the protests show posters read­ing “long live the Intifa­da” or ones depict­ing Netanyahu with the text WANTED.

US Muslim Brotherhood: Influence, Activism, and Israel Policy Explained

US-based Mus­lim Broth­er­hood-affil­i­at­ed orga­ni­za­tions have sys­tem­at­i­cal­ly worked to shape Amer­i­can Mus­lim per­spec­tives on Israel, lever­ag­ing their net­works to frame the Israeli-Pales­tin­ian con­flict as a cen­tral issue for Mus­lim advo­ca­cy and polit­i­cal mobi­liza­tion. Promi­nent fig­ures with­in these groups have urged Amer­i­can Mus­lims to mis­trust Jew­ish orga­ni­za­tions and reject the two-state solu­tion, while activists have orga­nized mass demon­stra­tions and cam­paigns call­ing for sanc­tions on Israel, often in alliance with broad­er left­ist and pro-Pales­tin­ian coali­tions. These orga­ni­za­tions have also crit­i­cized per­ceived cen­sor­ship of anti-Israel activism and sought to influ­ence US for­eign pol­i­cy by encour­ag­ing Mus­lim elec­toral engagement.

Ide­o­log­i­cal­ly, the US Mus­lim Brotherhood’s stance is close­ly aligned with its glob­al coun­ter­part, which uni­ver­sal­ly sup­ports Pales­tin­ian rights and fre­quent­ly con­demns Israeli actions with­out acknowl­edg­ing vio­lence by Pales­tin­ian mil­i­tant groups. Oper­a­tional link­ages are evi­dent in fundrais­ing, advo­ca­cy, and coali­tion-build­ing, with ties to inter­na­tion­al Islamist net­works and, in some cas­es, to groups des­ig­nat­ed as ter­ror­ist orga­ni­za­tions by US author­i­ties. This activism is part of a broad­er strat­e­gy to posi­tion the Israeli-Pales­tin­ian con­flict as a lit­mus test for Mus­lim polit­i­cal iden­ti­ty and sol­i­dar­i­ty, while also attempt­ing to shift inter­na­tion­al atten­tion from oth­er con­flicts to the plight of Pales­tini­ans.
