The US House of Representatives’ Foreign Affairs Committee voted on Wednesday to advance a bill that would designate all groups affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood "terrorist organisations".

The bill passed the committee with bipartisan support, with Democrats Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, Greg Stanton, Jared Moskowitz, Jim Costa, George Latimer, and Brad Schneider joining all the Republicans.

To become law, the bill needs to pass the full House of Representatives and the Senate.

The House Foreign Affairs Committee is led by staunch Israel supporter Brian Mast. The Florida Congressman lost both his legs in Afghanistan after stepping on an improvised explosive device. He later volunteered to serve in the Israeli military and often wears an Israeli army uniform inside Congress.
