The Palestinian Authority (PA) on Wednesday, January 1, temporarily suspended all operations of Qatari television Al Jazeera in the occupied Palestinian West Bank.
This move is attributed to Al-Jazeera’s “violation of the laws and regulations in Palestine” and its “insistence on broadcasting inciting materials and reports characterized by misinformation, incitement, and interference in Palestinian internal affairs.”
The specialized ministerial committee, comprising ministries of culture, interior, and communications, has decided to suspend broadcasts and freeze all activities of Al Jazeera satellite channel and its West Bank office.
