Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s cabinet has voted unanimously to close Al Jazeera’s operations in Israel, according to a government statement.

The cabinet vote on Sunday came after Israel’s parliament passed a law allowing the temporary closure in Israel of foreign broadcasters considered to be a threat to national security during the months-long war in Gaza.

Netanyahu announced the decision on X, formerly Twitter. “The government headed by me unanimously decided: the incitement channel Al Jazeera will be closed in Israel,” he posted in Hebrew.

In another X post, Israel’s Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi said he had signed the orders against Al Jazeera, which would be effective immediately.

Karhi also ordered the seizure of Al Jazeera’s broadcasting equipment
“used to deliver the channel’s content”, including editing and routing equipment,
cameras, microphones, servers and laptops,
as well as wireless transmission equipment and some mobile phones.

Why some countries are trying to muzzle Al-Jazeera

August 9, 2017

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — The Al-Jazeera global news network has once again become the subject of the news.

The Israeli government called this week for the Qatar-based company’s Jerusalem bureau to be closed, its journalists’ press credentials revoked and its transmission blocked.

The move follows a decision by Saudi Arabia and Jordan to shutter the network’s local offices. Its websites and channels were also blocked in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain. Egypt has banned Al-Jazeera since 2013, when the military there took power.

These countries accuse Al-Jazeera of inciting violence.

Al-Jazeera has said the measures to close it in Saudi Arabia are unjustified, and that Israel’s accusations of unfair coverage are “odd” and unsubstantiated.

In early June, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt and Bahrain launched a diplomatic assault on Qatar, cutting diplomatic and transport links with the small, energy-rich Gulf country due to its foreign policy.They also took aim at Al-Jazeera and other Qatari-funded media outlets for allegedly seditious and provocative coverage.

Al-Jazeera’s English and Arabic channels, as well as its news websites and its popular online AJ+ videos, do not mirror one another in style and target different audiences.

Saudis, Jordan, Egypt, Bahrain and the UAE banned Aljazeera nothing from the leftist half wits in the forum.

Israel gets rid of Aljazeera and the forum half wits are butthurt with outrage.
Cheesy

The english Aljazera differs from Arab version the english one targets gullbile leftists with fake news and propaganda

If the leftists didn't have double standards they wouldn't have any standards

yes - journalists are being muzzled:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Greste

Peter Greste (Latvian: Pēteris Greste; born 1 December 1965)[4] is a dual citizen Latvian Australian academic, memoirist and writer.[5][6] Formerly a journalist and foreign correspondent, he worked for Reuters, CNN, the BBC and Al Jazeera English; predominantly in the Middle East, Latin America and Africa.

On 29 December 2013, Greste and two other Al Jazeera journalists were arrested by Egyptian authorities in Cairo.[7] On 23 June 2014, Greste was found guilty of falsifying news and having a negative impact on overseas perceptions of the country,[8] and sentenced to seven years prison.[9] The Australian government intervened and negotiated on his behalf with a new Egyptian government.[10]

On 1 February 2015, Greste was officially deported to Australia (via Cyprus) on the condition that he face prison or trial in his home country; something Australia did not uphold.[11] At a retrial on 29 August 2015, an Egyptian court sentenced Greste in absentia to another three years in prison. However, he avoided serving that sentence because he was already out of Egypt and did not return.[12] If the full sentences were served, Greste would have been incarcerated until December 2023.

The ABC is playing along with it.

On Q&A now -
there were only comments about Oct 7th and how 1,200 innocent Jews were killed -
nothing about the over 20,000 women and children murdered in Gaza.
