significant role in uncovering the Israeli practices and violations against the
Strip, in particular the brutal assaults against the journalists, civilian
population and activists and also by exposing the blockade and its effects on
Gaza. It should be mentioned that the Palestinian National Authority had
closed the channel‟s offices in the West Bank in the wake of Hamas‟s
military coup in Gaza, and barred its correspondents from working there.
The SKeyes Centre for Media and Cultural Freedom expresses its deep
concern regarding Noursat‟s decision to stop the broadcasting of the
Palestinian channel Al-Aqsa in this manner, and calls on those concerned to
work on overturning the decision immediately, considering what this entails
in terms of violating the freedom of the work of the press and the respect of
different opinions, and calls for treating the channel in the same manner that
other outlets are treated around the world, and to resolve any dispute or
practical violations on the part of the channel by legal means only, away
from any other motivations.
