Quds Press Agency was surprised that Facebook had blocked the agency’s pages from the public without any prior warning on Tuesday (31 May).
The Facebook action comes a few days after the Agency covered the repercussions of Israeli attacks on Al-Aqsa Mosque and racist actions by settlers in the “March of Flags” Quds Press said in a statement confirming that the aim of these actions is the Palestinian and Arab narrative in exchange for granting wider space to the Israeli narrative.
It pointed out that Facebook had carried out blockades and removals of hundreds of accounts and pages that provided the Palestinian narrative of the conflict and even deleted pages that sympathized with that narrative over the past years.
Quds Press stressed that the professionalism and impartiality of Facebook faced a major challenge because of its coordination with the Israeli occupation government in combating Palestinian content.
It called on Facebook to reverse its decision stressing that the Agency’s website www.qudspress.com would continue to provide media content pending the launch of new pages because the battle of awareness waged by Palestinian media organizations would not be tired of exerting all efforts possible to clarify the truth to the world.
