"Netanyahu's Decision: Al Jazeera Banned from Broadcasting in Israel"

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced a ban on Qatar-based news station Al Jazeera in Israel, citing it as a security risk and accusing it of inciting against IDF soldiers. A new law passed in the Knesset grants Netanyahu and the communications minister authority to shut down foreign media outlets deemed a "security risk." The White House expressed concern over the decision, citing freedom of the press, while the National Press Club objected to the move, likening it to actions taken by illiberal governments. Al Jazeera responded by holding Netanyahu responsible for the safety of its staff and premises and vowing to continue its coverage.
