an egyptian court designated hamas, the governing body of the gaza strip as a terrorist organization. we look at the possible implications on egypt's role as a peace broker between israel and palestinians. >> this is a very damming verdict by the court of urgent matters. what it means is very vague. according to tradition, matters of international relations is dealt with by the executive branch not the judiciary. a terrorism law stipulates the court doesn't have jurisdiction. that belongs to the general prosecutor and appeals court. what hamas is accused of is aiding insurgency that killed hundreds of security personnel. also being part of a 2011 jailbreak that freed members of the muslim brotherhood during egypt's revolution. the muslim brotherhood is considered a terrorist organization here in egypt. hamas belongs to the muslim brotherhood. for egypt they are two in the same. hamas denies these accusations and condemns this verdict.
