The Israeli occupation stops the work of “Al-Mayadeen” media network in occupied Palestine

Today, the Israeli occupation authorities announced the cessation of the activity of the Al-Mayadeen Media Network in occupied Palestine, as part of its policy aimed at silencing the voice of truth and covering up its ongoing crimes against the Palestinian people.

Al-Mayadeen website reported that the occupation government decided this morning to stop the work of the Al-Mayadeen Media Network in occupied Palestine, indicating that the Minister of War in the occupation government Yoav Galant said: “(Israel) will not allow the dangerous propaganda broadcast by Al-Mayadeen Channel.”

The head of the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate Omar Nazzal criticized this decision, stressing that the occupation uses a clear strategy based on a Nazi policy of adopting lies until they become truth, highlighting  that it adopts this policy to silence every voice that confronts its claims and reveals the truth.

Nazzal said: “We will not allow the free voice to be silenced,” pointing to the escalation of the occupation’s attacks on press crews in occupied Palestine to prevent them from exposing its crimes, especially since the start of its aggression against the besieged Gaza Strip on the seventh of last October.

Al-Mayadeen’s correspondent reported leaks about the occupation’s intention to storm the network’s headquarters, seize its equipment, and detain its employees in violation of the freedom of journalistic and media work and all international laws and norms that protect them.

It is noteworthy that a few days ago, the Israeli occupation forces stormed the house of the network’s office director Nasser al-Laham in the city of Bethlehem in the West Bank, assaulted him and his wife and detained his two sons, as part of their targeting of the network and its crews.
