Benjamin Netanyahu’s government has voted to ban the Qatari broadcaster Al Jazeera from operating in Israel. The decision follows a law passed by the Israeli Knesset that allows the temporary closure of foreign broadcasters considered to pose a security threat. Israeli media say the block can last up to 45 days. The head of Al Jazeera’s Israeli operation called the ban dangerous and said it was motivated by politics.
