Telegram Removes Some Hamas Accounts After Pressure from Pro-Israel Group

Telegram removed popular Hamas-linked accounts after pressure from pro-Israel group Zachor Legal Institute.

Zachor asked Apple and Google to force Telegram to remove Hamas channels, citing violation of terms.

Telegram banned some but not all Hamas channels on Apple devices initially.

Telegram CEO had defended keeping Hamas channels open for information.

Critics argued Telegram amplified terrorist propaganda by hosting Hamas accounts.
