Egyptian court cancels Hamas listing as terrorist organization - sources

An Egyptian appeals court on Saturday canceled a ruling to list the Palestinian group Hamas as a terrorist organization, judicial sources said. Hamas is an offshoot of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood which the authorities have also declared a terrorist group and have repressed since the army ousted one of its leaders, Mohamed Mursi, from the presidency in 2013. Cairo has for many years played a central role in engineering ceasefires between neighboring Israel and Hamas, which dominates the Gaza Strip
