The Palestinian ministry of information in the dismissed government has called on the office of the Palestinian presidency to state their position regarding news reports which allege that the Palestinian presidency has formally applied to the Nilesat Satellite TV distribution network to stop the transmission of the Hamas-affiliated Al-Aqsa TV station through the Nilesat network.
The undersecretary of the dismissed ministry of information, Hasan Abu Hasheish, stated, "The ministry considers the presidency's silence towards these news reports to be a proof of the validity of the news, which is a disaster for media."
He stated that the Al-Aqsa satellite TV station "is a Palestinian media institution which was licensed by the Palestinian ministry of information".
Abu Hasheish appealed to the Palestinian ministry of information in the West Bank and Palestinian President Abbas to intervene and stop the assaults against freedom of press and opinion. He also called on them to allow the printing and the distribution of the Gaza-based Palestine and Ar Risala newspapers in the West Bank.
