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"

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