Twitter shut down a Hezbollah-affiliated Space account during a live interview with Palestinian Islamic Jihad’s leader, but then reinstated it after the Al Mayadeen news outlet contacted the social media giant and “solved the issue.”
The incident reportedly took place last Thursday during Al Mayadeen‘s interview with PIJ Secretary-General Ziyad al-Nakhalah, who told the station that countenancing Israel’s existence was not an option and that a Palestinian terror war was therefore underway in Judea and Samaria.
The Hezbollah-affiliated channel attributed Twitter’s initial move to “an onslaught of reports from the Israeli occupation, in retaliation to the strong-worded, unwavering and truthful statements made by al-Nakhalah.”
