Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu welcomed the law’s passing, saying that “Al Jazeera has harmed Israel’s security, actively participated in the October 7 massacre, and incited against IDF soldiers. It’s time to remove Hamas’ mouthpiece from our country.”
He added: “The terrorist channel Al Jazeera will no longer broadcast from Israel. I intend to take immediate action in accordance with the new law to halt the channel’s activities.”
It’s entirely possible Al Jazeera has an agenda. Arguably probable, given that NYT, WaPo, the BBC and any other “well respected” outlet each has agendas.
The missing bit here is what the alleged relevant agenda is. Proof that Al Jazeera has ulterior motives deleterious to Israel’s interests would go a long way toward making this feel less icky, but that’s apparently a bridge too far for a propaganda claim.
This is a “did you she what she was wearing” level of proof.
Yes, their agenda is to show people what is happening? All press have an agenda.
