TL goes off air, Makari says closure not permanent
Lebanon’s national television, Tele Liban, went off air on Friday amid an employees’ strike.
Caretaker Information Minister Ziad Makari meanwhile denied that he ordered the closure of the TV network.
“Tele Liban has not been closed and I don’t have an intention to do so. Everything that has been published is mere lies, we’re trying to address the problems and the most of the demands of employees have been fulfilled,” Makari added.
“Tele Liban will resume broadcasting and we’re working with part of the employees ,” the minister went on to say.
