Al Jazeera condemns Israeli ban extension, calls for its immediate lifting

Al Jazeera Media Network condemned Israeli authorities’ decision to extend its 90-day ban on operations in Israel, including suspending broadcasts, closing offices and restricting access to its websites and digital platforms. The Qatar-based network called the move an assault on press freedom and the public’s right to information, warning that it sets a dangerous precedent. A Tel Aviv court approved the extension the previous week. Al Jazeera rejected the allegations used to justify the ban and called for it to be lifted immediately.
