Israel: Netanyahu's government votes to ban Al Jazeera | DW News
Benjamin Netanyahu's government has voted to ban the Qatari broadcaster Al Jazeera from operating in Israel. The decision follows a law passed by the Israeli Knesset that allows the temporary closure of foreign broadcasters considered to pose a security threat. Israeli media say the block can last up to 45 days. The head of Al Jazeera's Israeli operation called the ban dangerous and said it was motivated by politics.

I'm all for democracy and freedom of the press, but news agencies need to be held accountable for false reports and outright lying to the people viewing the news, and AJ has been shown time and time again to not be an honest and unbiased purveyor of information. The rocket attack on the Gaza hospital that AJ reported over and over was an Israeli strike that turned out to be a malfunctioned dud rocket fired by Hamas with irrefutable evidence of that was never corrected or retracted, and that is just one example of which there are many. They have become the "Faux News" of the Arab world, and we all deserve better. This is also not the first time AJ has been in hot water for making false news reports in the Middle East.

Inaccurate journalism. The reporter from Israel forgot to mention that the Mossad felt for the first time that Al Jazeera was endangering the security of the country. A new position for the Mossad that did not see Al Jazeera as a threat in all the previous discussions on the subject. And this is in addition to what is already known about a number of Al Jazeera reporters who participated in the massacre on 10/7. It's hard for me to imagine a DW reporter participating in the massacre and keeping his job.
