Palestinian Authority's Turn to Ban Al Jazeera
The New Indian Express Vishakapatnam|January 03, 2025
THE Palestinian Authority has ordered the suspension of broadcasts by Al Jazeera in a move the Qatar-based television network condemned on Thursday as reminiscent of Israeli practices.

The move drew condemnation from press watchdogs and the UN human rights office called on the PA to "reverse course and respect its international law obligations".

Al Jazeera is already banned from broadcasting from Israel amid a long-running feud with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government.
