Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt General Guide Muhammad Mehdi 'Akef has stated that his movement does not and never will recognize Israel.
He added, "The Muslim Brotherhood does not have anything called 'Israel' in its lexicon; the [only] thing we recognize is the Zionist gangs that occupied the Arab land and expelled its residents... If they want to live amongst us, this must be in the framework of Palestine. If they want [their own] state – we will respond with resistance."
