On March 27, 2015, an Egyptian court annulled [3] a January decision by the Cairo Court for Urgent Matters [4] designating Hamas a terrorist organization. The organization had been designated as such in February “based on lawsuits [] alleging that Hamas is responsible for multiple attacks against Egyptian security forces, which have resulted in casualties and deaths.” According to another report [5], the ruling was annulled after the lawyer who filed the initial suit withdrew it citing the need to remove “obstacles which Egypt’s political leadership might face in serving its role in the Palestinian reconciliation.”
