"Since May 2024, an Israeli law has banned the news network, citing a threat to national security, an allegation Al Jazeera denies. Israel has extended its ban on Al Jazeera Media Network's operations by another 90 days. The order, signed by Israeli Communications Minister Shlomo Karahi and announced on Sunday, also prohibits broadcasting companies from providing its services to the network in the country."
"In May 2024, at the height of Israel's genocidal war on Gaza, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's cabinet had voted to shut Al Jazeera's operations in Israel, weeks after the Israeli parliament passed a law allowing the temporary closure of foreign broadcasters considered to be a threat to national security. In September that year, Israeli forces also stormed Al Jazeera's offices in the occupied West Bank's Ramallah city, confiscating equipment and documents and closing the network's office."

In September Israeli forces stormed Al Jazeera's Ramallah offices, confiscated equipment and documents, and closed the office. In December parliament approved a two-year extension of the law. Al Jazeera denies the allegations, calls them slanderous, and intends to pursue legal action. The network has been targeted by Israel for years.
