Israel Approves Proposal To Ban Al-Mayadeen Following Majdal Al-Shams Report

Israel banned the Lebanese media outlet in November for two months claiming harm to national security

Israel approved on Sunday a proposal by Minister of Communications Shlomo Karhi to ban the Al-Mayadeen media network from working inside of Israel for a second time. The decision includes the confiscation of its equipment and the blocking of its websites.

Israeli media reported that the Minister of Communications, Shlomo Karhi, pursued a new government decision to ban the network after obtaining a "professional opinion" from security agencies and receiving approval from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The Israeli government issued a previous order to block the Lebanese-based network from working in Israel in November 2023, claiming harm to Israel's national security. The order expired in January, and Al-Mayadeen resumed its work.

The decision to again block the network, viewed as sympathetic to the Lebanese resistance movement, Hezbollah, came after "the reappearance of terrorist representatives posing as journalists about two weeks ago," a spokesman for Karhi said in a statement.

In what can only be seen as a blatant attack on freedom of speech and an effort to conceal the truth, the Israeli government approved the Telecom Minister's proposal to ban #AlMayadeen, seize its equipment, and block its websites as reported by Israeli media.
