Israel extends ban on Al Jazeera’s operations by 90 days

AI Summary

medium article 2 min

Israel has extended its ban on Al Jazeera's operations within the country for another 90 days, continuing a prohibition that began in May 2024. The order, signed by the Communications Minister, prevents the network from broadcasting and restricts internet and broadcasting companies, including YouTube, from providing services to Al Jazeera in Israel. The Israeli government cites national security concerns as the reason for the ban, an allegation Al Jazeera denies. This extension follows a 2024 law allowing the temporary closure of foreign broadcasters deemed a threat and a subsequent raid on Al Jazeera's West Bank offices. In December 2025, the Israeli parliament approved extending the law for two more years. Al Jazeera maintains that the accusations are slanderous and a violation of international law.
