Greek Orthodox Archbishop of Sebastia in occupied al-Quds Atallah Hanna told Al Mayadeen Net that what is happening in Gaza is "the crime of the century," emphasizing that the Israeli occupation is carrying out ethnic cleansing in the Gaza Strip.

In an interview for Al Mayadeen Net, he characterized the ongoing situation as a plan for new forced displacement amounting to a new Nakba, highlighting that this is the sixth war waged on the people of Gaza in 17 years. Archbishop Hanna stressed that this aggression spares no one, and the targeting of Al-Shifa Hospital marks a stain on humanity's conscience. He called on the international community to take action to halt the aggression and save lives.

Additionally, Archbishop Hanna expressed solidarity with Al Mayadeen network following the Israeli cabinet's decision to ban it in occupied Palestine. He asserted that the platform will remain a voice for the free.

It is worth noting that various world, Arab, and Islamic leaders have expressed their solidarity with Al Mayadeen Media Network, emphasizing that this decision is "the highest honor" that the channel can be decorated with.

Ben Jeddou promises 'Israel' new fight in its own language

Following the Israeli order to shut down the network in occupied Palestine, Ghassan Ben Jeddou, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Al Mayadeen Media Network, issued a statement on November 13, affirming that "Al Mayadeen will never back down from its choices in supporting Palestine, its Resistance, and its people"

"Our physical absence from Occupied Palestine will not succeed in keeping us from supporting the righteous causes of the Palestinian and international masses yearning for freedom," Ben Jeddou added.

In a speech during a stand of solidarity with the network held in Beirut on Wednesday, Ben Jeddou addressed the Israeli occupation, saying that the step of silencing Al Mayadeen came out too late and that the decision to ban the network was made "because we are influential."

"We have transcended to become an unyielding concept," he stressed. 

Ben Jeddou concluded his speech with a challenging promise to “Israel”, whereby he said, "I promise 'Israel' that it will soon witness a new platform that confronts it with more ferocity and clarity. When Al Mayadeen expands to include your language, you Zionists, the battle between us will grow more brutal."
