Al-Jazeera is the first foreign media to be shut down in Israel with new national security law

Last April the Israeli parliament approved a national security law that allows the government to close foreign media outlets that are considered to be a threat to national security. Last week the Israeli government shut down the Al-Jazeera’ HQ in Ramallah, in the West Bank. Al-JAzeera is funded by the Qatari government and the IDF targeted and murdered several Al-Jazeera journalists during its war on Gaza.

The IDF have killed more than 100 journalists throughout their war on Gaza which is still ongoing.

    Small correction: Ramallah is not in Israel. As per the Oslo 2 Accord, Ramallah is in Sector A, exclusively administered by the PLA, hence Israel should have no jurisdiction. Ramallah is in Palestine.

      And Israel strictly speaking has no say there but Israel does not respect borders. The idea is to stop the genocide being reported, the IDF was horrified that footage of their soldiers throwing bodies off a roof was shown on the news. They will bomb the media in Lebanon shortly as well as schools and hospitals
