Officials seized AP's camera and equipment, accusing it of violating media laws by providing images to Al Jazeera. Reportedly, the US-backed wire service has subscribers globally.
The actions were criticized as censorship by Reporters Without Borders, sparking backlash from media organizations and politicians worldwide.
AP strongly condemns the shutdown, emphasizing that the act was not content-based but an abuse of the new foreign broadcaster law in Israel.
