Iraq revokes licence of Saudi Arabia
This came after a report aired by the channel labeled Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar and Iraqi resistance factions “terrorists”. Angry protesters stormed the channel’s offices in Baghdad, vandalised its contents and set it on fire following the report.
The controversial report mentioned several key figures, including Osama Bin Laden, the founder of Al-Qaeda, along with other leaders from his group. It also referenced Yahya Sinwar, the Hamas leader who was killed by Israel last week in the Gaza Strip, and his predecessor Ismail Haniyeh, who was assassinated in Tehran in late July, in an operation attributed to Israel.
Hamas condemned the report, calling it a “professional, media, and ethical failure.”
