It remains unclear why Facebook had suspended
Al-Qastal’s Arabic news page.

the social media platform of yielding to pressure
from Israeli authorities who aim
to “silence the voices of Jerusalemites

Israeli forces had
targeted two of its reporters
during the unrest
in East Jerusalem’s al-Aqsa Mosque.
