Israel will block media outlet Al Mayadeen but has indicated that it will refrain from shuttering Al Jazeera’s local bureau.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s security cabinet said in a statement released on Monday that it had approved the decision to block the programming and websites of Lebanon-based, pro-Iranian channel Al Mayadeen. However, it made no mention of Al Jazeera, despite earlier threats to use emergency regulations to clamp down on its Palestinian offices.
