YouTube has banned the channel belonging to Samidoun, an organization affiliated with the PFLP terrorist group, according to Ohad Merlin, a freelance journalist working with the Jerusalem Post.

The channel reportedly hosted webinars with members of the Hamas and Houthi terrorist groups after October 7 and was found to be in violation of YouTube's "violent criminal organizations policy."

Samidoun, which claims to be working for the welfare of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails, has already been designated as a terrorist-affiliated organization by Israel and was banned as such by Germany last year.
