2 days agoIsrael extends law that banned Al Jazeera for two more years
The Israeli parliament has approved an extension of a law which allows the shutdown of foreign media outlets over national security grounds for an additional two years. The bill, which replaces temporary legislation passed last April, includes several amendments aimed at eliminating judicial oversight. It can now be applied even if Israel is not under a state of emergency. In May 2024, Israel shut down Al Jazeera operations in the country, weeks after the law was passed by the Knesset.
