Cable TV operators in Israel will soon cease broadcasting the news channel Al-Jazeera, as they claim it ‘supports terrorism’, according to Israel’s Minister for Communications.
Further to the development, Israel will revoke the press credentials for any Al Jazeera-affiliated journalists, and may soon close down the broadcaster’s offices in the country.
Al-Jazeera, a Qatar-based organisation, has already been shut down in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt, and Bahrain following the diplomatic crisis that arose in the region earlier in the year.
