Abstract<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This paper examines the internal divisions that have affected the Muslim Brotherhood since 2013 until 2025, focusing on the organizational fragility that emerged as a result. It explores the proliferation of competing centers of decision-making between the London and Istanbul factions, alongside the rise of a third bloc identified as the Current of Change. The paper also traces the development of relations between the Guidance Bureau in Egypt and the organization\u2019s branches across Arab countries since the 1970s. It highlights how the organization historically succeeded in maintaining unified political positions on major regional developments, including the Iranian revolution, the Gulf War, the 2006 Lebanon War and the 2011 Arab uprisings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, the paper argues that the organization\u2019s current fragmentation has undermined its ability to coordinate unified positions, a reality reflected in the differing responses to the 12-Day War between Iran and Israel in June 2025. According to the paper, the London faction and Muslim Brotherhood branches in the Maghreb openly supported Iran, whereas the Syrian and Yemeni branches rejected that position, while the Istanbul faction remained silent. The paper concludes that these divisions reveal the effective breakdown of centralized decision-making within the organization, raising the possibility of the organization\u2019s gradual disintegration and the emergence of autonomous entities operating independently from the central leadership in Egypt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
