Israeli forces raided the Al Jazeera office in Ramallah on Sunday, issuing a 45-day closure order and accusing the broadcaster of 'incitement to and support of terrorism'. This latest move escalates a long-running feud between the Qatari-based network and the Israeli government.
Ramallah, Palestinian Territories—Global news channel Al Jazeera said armed and masked Israel i forces raided its office in Ramallah in the occupied West Bank on Sunday and issued a 45-day closure order.
Since the war began on October 7 when Hamas Palestinian militants attacked Israel, Al Jazeera aired continuous on-the-ground reporting on the effects of Israel’s campaign. Al Jazeera fiercely denied Israel’s accusations and said Israel systematically targets its employees in the Gaza Strip. “I ask you to take all the cameras and leave the office at this moment,” the soldier said, according to the footage.
