According to Al Jazeera's Arabic channel, the commander of the Israeli army in the occupied West Bank, Avi Balut, said that the order was justified because the office was being used for incitement and support for acts of terrorism. The extension order has reignited discussions about press freedom, especially considering the context of ongoing tensions in the region and the role of media in reporting these events.
Al Jazeera has condemned and denounced Israel's orders on its office in Ramallah. In a statement in September, the network said: The raid on the office and seizure of our equipment is not only an attack on Al Jazeera, but an affront to press freedom and the very principles of journalism. This situation reflects a broader concern about censorship and the challenges faced by journalists in conflict zones.
