Israel war cabinet resolves to shut down Al-Mayadeen in Palestine
The Cradle | November 13, 2023
Israel’s war cabinet on 13 November approved the decision to ban and shut down media companies that “give the nation a poor image,” with Hebrew media reports saying Israeli Minister of Communications, Shlomo Qurei, signed an order to end the operation of Lebanon’s Al-Mayadeen in the occupied Palestinian territories.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the decision to shut down Al-Mayadeen was due to the channel’s “making wartime efforts to harm [Israel’s] security interests and to serve the enemy’s goals.”
Nonetheless, Nasser al-Laham, director of Al-Mayadeen’s bureau in occupied Palestine, stressed that the channel “will continue to broadcast what is happening, whatever the cabinet’s decision is.”
The Lebanese broadcaster has had its fair share of aggression by the Israelis since the start of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.
On 31 October, the office of Laham was raided, his wife assaulted by the Israeli forces, and his children detained.
Previously, the Israeli government was targeting Qatari news channel Al-Jazeera, which has been reporting on Israeli war crimes against Palestinians for decades.
The threats against the Qatari news network are seemingly on ice, however, as the Ministry of Communications said that, as of now, no actions are being taken to shut down Al-Jazeera.
The decision reportedly comes due to fears of the action causing a crisis between Israel and Qatar, as Doha is acting as the prime mediator of the release of Israeli captives held in the Gaza Strip.
Israel Foreign Minister Eli Cohen has fervently voiced his distaste with the Qatari broadcaster, citing its “unbalanced and anti-Israel coverage,” and has demanded to examine “the form of its coverage at the security level and ensure that it did not harm the military forces.”
As the ethnic cleansing of Gaza enters its 38th day, at least 49 journalists have been killed in the besieged coastal enclave.
