Abstract

Israel's cabinet has voted to shut down Al Jazeera's broadcasts in the country, marking an unprecedented move to terminate the operations of an international media outlet. The decision was met with criticism from some ministers, who abstained from the vote and questioned its timing. While Benny Gantz's National Unity Party supports shutting down Al Jazeera, they argued that the decision should be postponed to avoid hindering ceasefire negotiations. The move to shut down the news channel has been discussed in Netanyahu's cabinet since the beginning of the war, with Israel blaming Al Jazeera for false reports that relied on Hamas propaganda.
