Gulf Arab countries have asked Netflix to remove what it calls “offensive content” on the streaming service, apparently targeting programmes that feature gay and lesbian characters.

Gulf Arab nations ask Netflix to remove 'offensive' queer videos 

Saudi state television also aired a video of an interview it conducted with a &ldquo;behavioral consultant&rdquo; who described Netflix as being an &ldquo;official sponsor of homosexuality.&rdquo;

Gulf Arab countries have asked Netflix to remove &ldquo;offensive content&rdquo; on the streaming service, apparently targeting programmes that feature gay and lesbian characters.
A joint statement issued on behalf of a committee of the Gulf Cooperation Council made the request, saying the unspecified programs &ldquo;contradict Islamic and societal values and principles.&rdquo; Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates each published the statement via their respective governments as well. They, along with Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman and Qatar, make up the six-nation council.
Meanwhile, Saudi state television also aired a video of an interview it conducted with a &ldquo;behavioral consultant&rdquo; who described Netflix as being an &ldquo;official sponsor of homosexuality.&rdquo;
Saudi state television also aired a segment suggesting Netflix could be banned in the kingdom over a programme reaching children showing two women embracing each other.
Netflix, based in Los Gatos, California, did not immediately respond to a request for comment Tuesday.
The move comes after countries in the Muslim world in June banned the public showing of Disney's latest animated film &ldquo;Lightyear&rdquo; over a brief moment showing two lesbian characters kissing.
After that, the company's Disney+ streaming service said its &ldquo;content available should align with local regulatory requirements&rdquo; in Gulf Arab countries.
Many Muslims consider gays and lesbians to be sinful. In some parts of the Arab world, members of the LGBTQ community have been arrested and sentenced to prison. Some countries even maintain the death penalty.
The move also comes as regional streaming services try to eat into Netflix's revenue, including the Shahid service operated by the Saudi-owned MBC Group. The Saudi government is believed to hold a controlling stake in MBC Group after a series of arrests in 2017 ordered by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman over corruption allegations that saw him centralize power in the kingdom.
Netflix has limited content previously in Saudi Arabia.
In 2019, activists blasted the streaming service for pulling an episode of comedian Hasan Minhaj's &ldquo;Patriot Act&rdquo; that criticized Prince Mohammed over the killing and dismemberment of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi, as well as the kingdom's involvement in the war in Yemen.
Netflix at the time said the episode was removed from the kingdom as a result of a legal request from authorities and not due to its content.

Around 16,000 Indians were stuck in Ukraine on the day that Russia launched its military invasion. Subsequently, the Indian government launched Operation Ganga to evacuate the stranded Indians. After initially using Air India flights, the Indian Air Force has been pressed into action.
While quite significant, this is far from the biggest evacuation from foreign soil that India is conducting.
The country's largest evacuation operation was conducted during the Gulf War over three decades ago. In 1990, when Iraq attacked Kuwait, the Indian government reportedly brought back over 1 lakh citizens in a little over 2 months.
A coalition government comprising of the BJP, Janata Dal, and Left was in power at the time, and VP Singh was the Prime Minister.
Iraq's invasion of Kuwait began on August 2, 1990, and around 1.7 lakh Indians were reportedly in the region at the time. Around three weeks later, India's external affairs minister at the time, IK Gujral, visited Iraq and met Saddam Hussein to ensure the safe return of Indian citizens.

The operation reportedly started with military transport aircraft bringing Indians back. However, due to greater difficulty in securing permissions for passage of military aircraft, the Indian government switched to civilian aircraft. State carrier Air India was roped in.
However, a situation similar to the current one emerged where flights couldn't be flown directly to and from Iraq and Kuwait due to airspace closures. Subsequently, all Indian nationals who were to be evacuated were taken to Amman in neighbouring Jordan via buses.
Then over 63 days, 488 Air India flights reportedly brought back over 1 lakh Indians from the war-torn region.
Former Union minister, and ex-BJP leader Yashwant Sinha has cited the operation in what is being seen as a veiled attack on the Modi government. Sinha is currently a Trinamool Congress leader.
While the Modi administration has patted its back for the ongoing evacuation efforts, the Opposition has called the exercise too little, too late.
