On Sunday, January 15, 2012, the
dismissed Hamas government in Gaza banned 13 young
Palestinians from participating in the New Star musical competition
show aired on Mix Maan television. According to the TV station, Hamas considered
this program "contrary to the traditions
and customs".
The information office of the Hamas government has said in a
statement issued on January 16, that the ban is based on the
fact that Mix Maan operates illegally in Gaza and does
not have the necessary permits.
