Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Sunday that his government has unanimously voted to close the offices of the Qatar-owned broadcaster Al Jazeera in Israel. The decision was made amidst strained relations between Israel and the channel, which have escalated during the conflict with Hamas.
Details regarding the timing of the closure and whether it is a permanent or temporary measure have not been clarified at this time. The move to shut down Al Jazeera's offices in Israel comes as Qatar plays a role in facilitating a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas in the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
