Al Mayadeen has been covering and reporting on the Israeli atrocities across Gaza, the occupied West Bank, and other occupied Palestinian territories since long before Operation Al-Aqsa Flood launched on October 7, 2023.
On Sunday, the Tel Aviv government approved the proposal of Communications Minister Shlomo Krai to renew the ban on Al Mayadeen, confiscate its equipment and block its websites.

The Israeli media reported that the head of Communications worked on issuing a new cabinet decision after issuing a “professional point of view” from the security forces and approval by the head of government, Benjamin Netanyahu.
In November 2023, Israel approved the suspension of Al Mayadeen, following a joint statement by the Security Authorities, Yoav Galant, and Communications, Shlomo Krai, who attributed the reason for the ban to the fact that the pan-Arab network harms the security of the entity.
Since 7 October, the Jerusalem correspondent, Hanaa Mahamid, has been threatened by Israeli journalists and settlers, and in the West Bank a military force broke into the home of the director of Al Mayadeen’s office, Nasser Al-Lahham, in Bethlehem.
In November 2023, journalist Farah Omar and cameraman Rabih Al-Maamari were killed during an Israeli raid on the southern Lebanese town of Tair Harfa.
