The government of Egypt has filed a legal action with a Cairo court appealing the court's former ruling, which labeled the Palestinian resistance movement, Hamas, as a terrorist group.

Egypt's State Lawsuits Authority, the government's legal arm, has appealed a ruling by Cairo's Court for Urgent Matters labeling Palestinian resistance movement, Hamas, a 'terrorist organization," a judicial source said on Wednesday.

According to reports, the court has set March 28 as the to date to start hearing the case.
