Ramallah: The Ministry of Interior at the Palestinian National Authority officially announced on Sunday the closure of a satellite TV channel owned by Mohammad Dahlan, Member of Fatah Central Committee and Media Commissioner in the movement.
The Palestine Future TV was shut down following a decision by the Ministry of Interior taken on November 25, where the chief editor of the channel was officially summoned to the premises of the ministry and handed over a copy of the order, and the channel was officially shut off on Sunday.
Sources at the ministry and the channel told Gulf News that there have been no clear reasons for the decision.
Sources in the channel said that the ministry decision was take in line with the renewal of the TV channel licences, but denied rumours that it has anything to do with the dispute between the channel co-owner and the Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
