Al Hadath (Arabic: الحدث, lit. 'The Event') is a Saudi Arabian state-owned Arabic-language interactive television news channel that focuses primarily on political developments in the Arab world. It operates as a sister channel to Al Arabiya and serves as an extension of its coverage, offering in-depth reports and live updates on breaking news events.[1]
Overview#edit
The channel is accessible internationally and is available in the United Kingdom via the Vision TV streaming platform on the British Freeview service. From 28 March 2022, it became available alongside Al Arabiya on Freeview channel 273.[2] Al Hadath also operates country-specific social media pages such as Al Hadath Yemen and Al Hadath Egypt on platforms including X (formerly Twitter) and Facebook, offering localized news and updates.[3][4]
The Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement's Arabic-language account published a call to boycott al-Hadath along with its sister channel Al Arabiya for being what they called "the mouthpieces of the Israeli enemy that speak Arabic".[5]
