Sami Kleib Resigns from Al-Mayadeen TV Channel

“In line with my thoughts, convictions and conscience, I have submitted my resignation today from al-Mayadeen television channel,” Klein wrote on his Twitter account, wishing the channel he co-founded in 2011, together with Ghassan Bin Jiddo, unrelenting progress and success.

Kleib recently conducted a televised interview, alongside al-Akhbar’s Nicolas Nassif, with President Michel Aoun which provoked disdain from protesters.
