Israel extends law that banned Al Jazeera for two more years

The Israeli parliament has approved an extension of a law which allows the shutdown of foreign media outlets over national security grounds for an additional two years. The bill, which replaces temporary legislation passed last April, includes several amendments aimed at eliminating judicial oversight. It can now be applied even if Israel is not under a state of emergency. In May 2024, Israel shut down Al Jazeera operations in the country, weeks after the law was passed by the Knesset. The law gave the prime minister and communications minister the authority to order the closure of foreign networks operating in Israel and confiscate their equipment if it was believed they posed “harm to the state’s security”. The closure of Al Jazeera's bureau has been widely criticised. Akiva Eldar is a political analyst. He says the action against Al Jazeera is part of a wider attack by the government on the media in Israel.
