Egyptian researcher Tharwat Al-Kharbawi has shed new light on the death of Hassan Al-Banna, founder of the Muslim Brotherhood. In a recent interview with Hamdy Rizk on the "Nazra" program on Sadq Al-Balad TV, Al-Kharbawi stated that the narrative blaming King Farouk for Al-Banna's death does not align with his knowledge of the event. Instead, he claimed that Al-Banna was killed by members of the Brotherhood's secret organization.
According to Al-Kharbawi, Abdel Rahman Al-Sindi, a key figure in the Brotherhood's secret organization at the time, was among those responsible for Al-Banna's death. This contradicts previous claims that King Farouk was involved in the killing. Al-Kharbawi's statements have sparked renewed interest in the circumstances surrounding Al-Banna's death in 1949.
Al-Kharbawi also revealed that Al-Banna's son, Ahmed Seif Al-Islam Hassan Al-Banna, was aware of the details surrounding his father's death. In a 2011 interview, Ahmed stated that King Farouk was not responsible for his father's death, adding that he knew who was responsible and would reveal this information in the future. However, he never followed up on this claim.
Al-Banna's daughter also spoke out about her father's death, stating that King Farouk was not involved and that the family would reveal the truth in due time. However, this information has yet to be made public. Al-Kharbawi's statements have raised questions about the circumstances surrounding Al-Banna's death and the potential involvement of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Al-Kharbawi also discussed the relationship between Al-Banna and Mustafa Marei, who was Minister of State at the time of Al-Naqrashy's death. According to Al-Kharbawi, Marei entered into negotiations with Al-Banna, offering to spare him from prosecution in exchange for information about the Brotherhood's secret organization.
The Muslim Brotherhood was founded in 1928 by Hassan Al-Banna, with the goal of promoting Islamic values in Egypt. The group's ideology and activities have been the subject of much debate and controversy over the years. Al-Banna's death in 1949 remains a significant event in the Brotherhood's history.
The revelations by Al-Kharbawi have sparked renewed interest in the life and death of Hassan Al-Banna, and the early history of the Muslim Brotherhood. While the circumstances surrounding Al-Banna's death remain complex and multifaceted, Al-Kharbawi's statements have provided new insights into this pivotal event in Egyptian history.
