DEPARTMENT OF STATE

[Public Notice: 12900]


Specially Designated Global Terrorist Designations of Lebanese 
Muslim Brotherhood and Muhammad Faqzi Taqqosh

    Acting under the authority of and in accordance with section 
1(a)(ii)(A) of Executive Order 13224, as amended (``E.O. 13224'' or 
``Order''), I hereby determine that the person known as Lebanese Muslim 
Brotherhood (also known as al-Jamaa al-Islamiyah, Jamaa Islamiya, al-
Jamaah al-Islamiyah, Jama'a Islamiyah, Jamaa Islamiyah, The Islamic 
Group, Islamic Group in Lebanon, al-Fajr Forces, The Fajr Forces, al-
Fajer Forces, The Dawn Forces, Quwat al-Fajr) is a foreign person who 
has committed or has attempted to commit, poses a significant risk of 
committing, or has participated in training to commit acts of terrorism 
that threaten the security of U.S. nationals or the national security, 
foreign policy, or economy of the United States.
    Additionally, acting under the authority of and in accordance with 
section 1(a)(ii)(B)(2) of E.O. 13224, I hereby determine that the 
person known as Muhammad Fawzi Taqqosh (also known as Mohammad 
Takkoush, Mohammed Takkoush, Muhammad Takush, Muhammad Taqush) is a 
foreign person who is a leader of Lebanese Muslim Brotherhood, an 
entity whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to 
a determination by the Secretary of State pursuant to E.O. 13224.
    Consistent with the determination in section 10 of E.O. 13224 that 
prior notice to persons determined to be subject to the Order who might 
have a constitutional presence in the United States would render 
ineffectual the blocking and other measures authorized in the Order 
because of the ability to transfer funds instantaneously, I determine 
that no prior notice needs to be provided to any person subject to this 
determination who might have a constitutional presence in the United 
States, because to do so would render ineffectual the measures 
authorized in the Order.
    This determination shall be published in the Federal Register.

    Dated: December 19, 2025.
Marco Rubio,
Secretary of State.
