Soundbytes: Israel moves to shutter the local office of Qatari satellite television network Al Jazeera while the war in Gaza continues, citing a threat to national security. Al Jazeera, which is funded by the Qatari government, called the Israeli measure an /”escalation/” and said it /”comes as part of a series of systematic Israeli attacks to silence Al Jazeera,/” according to a statement late on Monday. The law approved on Monday would allow Netanyahu and the security cabinet to shut the network’s offices in Israel for 45 days, which could be renewed, and would stay in force until the end of July or until the end of major military operations in Gaza. Al Jazeera rejected accusations that it harmed Israel’s security as a /”dangerous and ridiculous lie/” that puts its journalists at risk. Al Jazeera has been fiercely critical of Israel’s military operation in Gaza, from where it has reported around the clock, throughout the war.
