In the Name of Democracy

"The Palestinian union of journalists also highlighted that the takeover of media centres and offices created an unprecedented situation in Palestinian history. There is an extreme “monopoly” and “blackout” of news reports in the Gaza Strip, the statement added."

It's worth remembering that Fateh and the PA didn't exercise this kind of blackout even at their worst moments.

However, Abbas's new NGO law is a disaster for democratic institutions.
