Hamas Goes on Offensive Against Egyptian Media
After initially staying silent on Egypt, Hamas has decided to respond to media accusations against it by launching a campaign of its own.
The Egyptian crisis is having negative political and economic effects on Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. After initially maintaining silence, Hamas last week moved to close the Gaza offices of Ma'an News Agency and Al Arabiya.
Hamas accused some Palestinian media outlets of behaving like some Egyptian media outlets and “fabricating” stories about Hamas’ relationship with the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and its interference in Egyptian affairs, both politically and on the ground.
