Israeli Police Raid Al Jazeera Bureau After Decision To Close Broadcaster

Inspectors and police are raiding the Al Jazeera offices in Jerusalem, Israel, on May 5, 2024, and are confiscating its equipment. The Israeli communications minister has announced the decision to shut down the broadcaster following a unanimous vote by the Israeli government to close the bureau of the Qatar-owned Al Jazeera television. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is stating that his government has decided to close Al Jazeera's operations in Israel. Last month, Israel's Knesset passed legislation that allows the closure of the Al Jazeera television. The communications minister now has the power to shut down foreign networks operating in Israel and confiscate their equipment if the defense minister deems their broadcast a security threat. Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi is saying that the orders to close the channel are taking effect immediately. Al Jazeera maintains an office in Israel and a team of correspondents who are working throughout the year, including covering the ongoing conflict in the Gaza Strip, which has resulted in over 34,600 deaths since October 7, 2023.
