Hamas Condemns Al-Aqsa Channel Shutdown, Accuses US and Europe of Silencing Palestinian Voices

The Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas has strongly condemned the joint decision by the United States and European nations to suspend Al-Aqsa Network’s international satellite broadcasts, calling it a direct attack on media freedom and an attempt to silence Palestinian voices.

In an official statement, Hamas asserted that the move aims to suppress freedom of expression, censor Palestinian narratives, and cover up Israeli atrocities against the Palestinian people.

The statement further highlighted that this decision seeks to:
✔ Suppress media platforms exposing Israeli state-sponsored terrorism
✔ Limit international coverage of Gaza’s humanitarian crisis
✔ Silence voices advocating for Palestinian rights
✔ Restrict press freedom and target journalists in the region

Hamas urged global media organizations and human rights defenders to condemn this unjust action and break their silence against Israel’s violations of international laws and human rights.

Al-Aqsa Satellite Channel confirmed that its broadcasts were suspended following joint pressure from the US and European authorities.
