Jordan has banned the Muslim Brotherhood, accusing the group of planning attacks in the country. The ban could potentially shut down the nation's largest opposition party, the Islamic Action Front. The Muslim Brotherhood is a Sunni Islamist movement founded in 1928 in Egypt. While the group has denounced violence, some individuals frustrated with its stance have joined more militant organizations. This is not the first time Jordan has taken action against the Muslim Brotherhood, but experts believe the recent ban may be related to global pushback against Hamas.
