Liberman declares Palestinian TV network a terror organization

Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman has officially designated the al-Quds television network a terror organization, his office says, accusing the Lebanon-based outlet of being an arm of Hamas.

“According to up-to-date, reliable, cross-checked and diverse intelligence, the al-Quds station is a propaganda wing of Hamas, representing a central platform for distributing the terror organization’s messages,” the defense minister’s office says in a statement.

The idea to declare the outlet a terror organization was proposed by the Shin Bet security service and the Defense Ministry’s department for fighting terrorism with economic tools, Liberman’s office says.
