Amid escalating tensions with Qatar over the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's cabinet voted unanimously to close Qatari television network Al-Jazeera's operations in Israel, after Israel's parliament recently passed a law allowing the temporary closure of foreign broadcasters considered a threat to national security during the ongoing war against Hamas.
Qatar, which funds Hamas, has been accused by Israel of inflaming the conflict through Al-Jazeera's coverage, which Israel views as being sympathetic to Hamas. Al-Jazeera has denied any bias and vowed to maintain its reporting from the region.
Al-Jazeera issued the following statement in response to the allegations: "This man is not from Al-Jazeera, nor did he work for Al-Jazeera at all, nor is he listed as working for Al-Jazeera either now or in the past, and we do not know him, and all the rumors spread are empty of content and not true at all."
