The London-based al-Hewar TV channel plays a suspicious role and does not cease to cross the red lines in encroaching on the constants and policies of the countries, constantly seeking to divide peoples, and play on sectarianism, in supporting the Islamists of Tunisia, Algeria and Eritrea, supporting the Turkish aggression on Syria, and launching its poisoned arrows on Egypt and Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

Accumulation and repetition

In formulating its content, the TVchannel relies on certain persuasive methods, namely, the method of repetition and accumulation of exposure. This is reflected in the frequency of its attack on countries that are hostile to the Muslim Brotherhood.

Egyptian hackers succeeded in piercing it several times and stopped broadcasting, said Major Khaled Abu Bakr, founder of the Egyptian electronic army. He succeeded in closing the channel and stop broadcasting for long periods after penetrating its server on the satellite.

Incorporation

The group recognized the importance of presence in outer space. Among the priorities of the Muslim Brotherhood was the establishment of a satellite channel in 2006, broadcast from London under the name of Al-Hewar and assigned its management to a member of the international organization, Palestinian Azzam Sultan Tamimi, a member of the Muslim League in Britain.

Tamimi acknowledged the existence of the international organization, stressing that it is not new, and is more than thirty years old, indicating that its role is to be a coordinating umbrella between the various Qatari Muslim Brotherhood organizations in many countries, such as the brothers of Egypt, Syria and other countries.

US national security expert and counterterrorism researcher Patrick Paul, founder of the channel in Front magazine, described him as an activist known for belonging to the Muslim Brotherhood, a senior international organization member, and an official within Hamas, based on a book by al-Tamimi himself published by Hamas from within, considering the aggressive behavior of the channel is not strange.

According to the Chris Policy website, London, which hosts the channel’s headquarters in the UK, is an important media center for the Muslim Brotherhood, and the most important media mediator of the group and the global organization, where he meets leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood residing in London and others hosted by his country, as members of the Tunisian Renaissance and officials from the Islamic Resistance Hamas.

Istanbul office

In February 2018, Osama Gawish, the Brotherhood’s presenter, was reported to have fled from Turkey to London to seek political asylum and a job opportunity in a channel broadcasting there, after his program from Istanbul was suspended.

Fahad Dibaji, a Saudi writer, exposed the Muslim Brotherhood channel, saying it was run by the Brotherhood’s international organization, led by Ibrahim Mounir, the group’s deputy leader, accusing the channel of plotting against Arab countries.

The Saudi writer said in a tweet, through last October that Al-Hewar TV channel broadcast a program called the London dialogue, while the reality of conspiracy and advocacy undermines security and stability in the Arab countries.
