Gehad El-Haddad (born c.1981) is an Egyptian political activist for the Muslim Brotherhood. He acted as media spokesman for the Brotherhood from May 2013 until he was arrested on September 17, 2013.
The son of Essam El-Haddad, a member of the Brotherhood’s Guidance Bureau, Gehad El-Haddad grew up in Alexandria. He worked for the Industrial Modernization Centre and then the Clinton Climate Initiative. Afterwards, he volunteered for the Muslim Brotherhood Renaissance Project (Project implementation started while Morsi was in office). In February 2017, as some reports emerged that the Trump administration was mulling designating the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign terrorist organisation, Gehad El-Haddad wrote an op-Ed for the New York Times from his prison cell in Tora prison in Cairo outlining that the MB was not a terrorist organisation but rather a peaceful socio-political organisation.
