Israeli Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi said this Wednesday that he is ready to close the operations of the Arabic television channel Al-Jazeera in Israel.
Shlomo Karkhi said he is working on emergency rules to shut down Al Jazeera News in Israel, which will be discussed at a meeting this evening.
A spokesman for Karhi’s office declined TPS’ request for comment.
According to the Israeli government, the Al Jazeera television station, based in Doha, Qatar, is anti-Israel and incites hatred and violence against the Jewish state in the Arab world.
“Al Jazeera pioneered a new paradigm of in-depth journalism that was relevant to its audience and gave them a broad and in-depth look at regional and international issues,” the network states on its website.
Three years ago, the US Department of Justice found that Al Jazeera Plus (AJ+), a subsidiary of Al Jazeera Media Network, was engaged in “political activities” associated with the Qatari government and ordered the media to register. regime of the Foreign Agents Registration Law.
The decision by Israel’s communications minister came after the Islamic movement Hamas launched a surprise attack into Israel on Saturday called Operation Al-Aqsa Storm. The Islamic movement Hamas, classified as terrorist by the European Union, the United States and Israel, has controlled the Gaza Strip since 2006.
On Monday, Israel imposed a complete blockade of the Gaza Strip, cutting off supplies of water, fuel and electricity.
