Israel’s government has moved to shut down the operations of the Al Jazeera television network in the country, branding it a mouthpiece for Hamas.

Hours after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the cabinet agreed to the closure, police raided the broadcaster’s office in Jerusalem on Sunday.

The broadcaster, which is headquartered in Qatar, called claims it was a threat to Israeli security a "dangerous and ridiculous lie".

    And some still claim Israel is a democracy….
  • North Korea was once considered the worse country on the block…not anymore.

    I still remember a couple years ago when they raided Israeli human rights and legal aid nonprofits, simply for documenting atrocities committed against Palestinians and attempting to advocate for them.
  • They already control the press in UK and US so how come this has taken so long?
  • When people choose security over freedom, eventually they wind up with neither.

    The irony is that I find the reporting at Al Jazeera came across as more professional and less propaganda-ish than most Western media these days.

    oh the desperation to keep what's happening to the innocent people in Gaza out of the sight of the world!!!

    The BBC should at least have more empathy for journalists worldwide.
  • Remember Shireen Abu Akleh a Palestinian-American journalist who worked for Al Jazeera and was murdered by Israel. History didn’t begin on 7th October.
  • Of course. If you thought Israel has a democracy, you haven't seen the brutality of their police let alone the few in control committing warcrimes.
  • @tawbalee
    and they call themselves "democratic".
