Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman on Monday banned Palestinian Al-Quds channel.
In a decree signed on July 3, Lieberman said the ban was based on Israel’s anti-terrorism law.
Under the decree, the channel will not be broadcast inside Israel
The decree did not give a reason for the ban, but Israeli authorities accuse the channel of being a propaganda tool for Palestinian resistance group Hamas.
There was no comment from the Palestinian channel on the Israeli ban.
Al-Quds channel broadcasts from Lebanon and has a correspondent based in Jerusalem.
