Israel Raids "Hamas Mouthpiece" Al Jazeera After Shutdown But Channel Stands Firm On Gaza Coverage

Israel's government shut down the operations of the Al Jazeera television network in the country on May 5. Branding the news organisation a mouthpiece of Hamas, Israeli Prime Minister said the cabinet agreed to the closure amid the war in Gaza. Netanyahu announced the decision on X, adding “The government… unanimously decided: the incitement channel Al Jazeera will be closed in Israel.” After the order, police raided the Qatari broadcaster's office at the Ambassador Hotel in Jerusalem. A video posted by the minister on X shows police officers and inspectors from the ministry entering a hotel room. Watch the video to find out more.
