Israel bans Al Jazeera, an international media outlet owned by the Qatari government. The Knesset passed the bill in this regard. The law was passed in Parliament by a vote of 70-10. The law also empowers the government to ban the offices of foreign channels. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that he will take action to close all the offices and bureaus of Al Jazeera in the country.

Netanyahu said that Al Jazeera had a negative impact on Israel’s security. It is time to remove the supporters of Hamas from our country. Terrorist channel Al Jazeera will no longer broadcast from Israel. Netanyahu also noted on X that he suggested taking action under the new law to end the channel’s operations.

Israel has accused Al Jazeera journalist and freelancer who were killed in an airstrike in Gaza last January as terrorists. Israel also claimed that an Al Jazeera journalist was a deputy commander of Hamas. But Al Jazeera rejected Israel’s accusations and accused them of targeting its employees.
