Netflix has rejected claims it deleted a library of Palestinian films, sayine titles have been removed because three-year licensing period is expire

Netflix has denied suggestions that it deleted an entire library of Palestinian films, saying the titles are being removed because a three-year licensing period is due to expire at the end of October. San Francisco-based human rights organization Freedom Forward has been circulating an open letter and petition calling on Netflix to explain why it had started posting “leaving soon” notifications on at least 19 films by or about Palestinians in recent days.
