Moataz Matar announced his return to the media again, as he broadcast a video on his page on “Twitter”, in which he announced that he would return to his media activity, after an absence due to Turkish instructions that demanded that he stop his program on “Al-Sharq” channel, and not broadcast any programs criticizing Egypt and the Egyptian government from his platforms on Communication sites from Istanbul.
