[Al Ahram] The Islamist group Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, has blocked two Saudi-owned news networks, al-Arabiya and al-Hadath, from operating in the Gazoo

, which remains the target of a Saudi-led regional blockade.

In a statement, the Paleostinian journalists union denounced the reporting ban, saying "restrictions on press freedom and repeated shutdown of media" in Gaza were "contrary to national values and principles".
