Netflix is facing criticism from several human rights groups for not renewing 19 films from its "Palestinian Stories" collection, launched in October 2021.

These films will soon leave the platform as Netflix's licensing agreement expires at the end of the month. This process aligns with standard industry practices, similar to how "Friends" left U.S. Netflix and "Mr. Robot" became unavailable in Arabic regions.

“We launched this licensed collection in 2021 for three years,” Netflix explained in a brief statement. “Those licenses have now expired. As always, we continue to invest in diverse, high-quality films and shows to meet our members' needs and amplify voices from around the globe.”
