Hamas shuts Al Arabiya over ‘false’ news

The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas has shut down Gaza offices of Al Arabiya TV and Palestinian news agency Maan over false reporting.

According to AFP, a Hamas official said on Thursday: “The Attorney General decided to close down Al Arabiya and Maan offices in Gaza for distributing false news regarding the smear campaign against Hamas and Gaza about what’s happening in Egypt.”
A Maan staff member and a Hamas official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said that the news agency was closed temporarily over a report, which citied Zionist regime’s sources. The report says that Hamas government has provided asylum to Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood fugitive leaders.
Saudi-owned Al Arabiya refused to reveal the reasons behind its office closure in Gaza.
