Israel shut down Al Jazeera’s operations, seizing its communication equipment. The Qatari news channel was immediately taken off the air due to concerns about national security.
Following the government’s decision, Al Jazeera was removed from Yes and Hot, Israel’s two largest TV providers. By Sunday night, several internet providers had blocked access to Al Jazeera’s Arabic and English websites.
Israeli police and Communications Ministry inspectors visited Al Jazeera's Jerusalem offices to seize broadcast equipment and secure the area. Video footage of officials documenting the equipment was released by the office of Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi, who led the effort to close the station.
In April, the Knesset approved a rule allowing temporary shutdowns of international media outlets deemed to threaten national security. On Sunday, the cabinet voted overwhelmingly to authorize Karhi to shut down Al Jazeera for 45 days.
Karhi issued four directives: stopping TV providers from airing Al Jazeera, closing its two Jerusalem offices, seizing its broadcasting equipment, and blocking access to its website.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Karhi released a joint statement accusing Al Jazeera’s journalists of harming Israeli security and inciting against IDF soldiers.
