It was announced that an Islamist bloc will be established to run in Egypt's upcoming parliamentary elections, which will include three Islamist parties, including members from al-Jamā'ah al-Islāmiyyah Shaykh Karām Zuhdi, chairman, and Fu'ād al-Dawālībī, a member of the group's Shūrá (Consultative) Council.
