Israel's latest move comes amid a widening campaign by Israel targeting the Qatar-funded broadcaster as it covers the Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip.
Israel had imposed a 35-day ban on Al Jazeera, accusing of promoting Hamas goals, by raiding a Jerusalem hotel room used by the Qatar-based network on May 5. Al Jazeera has been highly critical of Israel's operations in the war and one of its journalists was killed in Gaza when the war began.
Israel officials seized camera and broadcasting equipment from the Associated Press on Tuesday as it was airing a live video of Gaza, accusing it of violating a new media law. The move sparked intense backlash from the Biden administration, journalism organisations and the United Nations.
Israeli authorities confiscated a camera and broadcasting gear owned by The Associated Press (AP) in southern Israel on Tuesday, alleging that the American news outlet breached a recent media regulation by supplying footage to Al Jazeera.
The statement from Netanyahu’s office said that under a law passed last month, the government can take action against a foreign channel seen as “harming the country.”
Israeli officials have long complained about Al Jazeera's coverage and sought to shut it down under a legislation allowing temporary ban on foreign news networks citing threats to national security. Israel has accused the channel of inciting anti-Israel sentiments, which Al Jazeera has denied.
The Israeli military said its forces came under attack with heavy gunfire and explosives while operating in Jenin, and that they fired back.
The US requires all agencies, individuals and organisations controlled or funded by international governments to be registered with the Department of Justice under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) which aims to restrict the spread of propaganda inside America.
During a brutal terror attack at the heart of Westminster on Wednesday in which four people were killed including the lone attacker, people watching Al Jazeera's coverage on Facebook Live reacted with ‘joyful emojis’.
