Reporters Without Borders condemns closure of Al-Jazeera in Israel
The NGO Reporters Without Borders (RSF) today denounced the Israeli government's order to close down the Al-Jazeera network's operations in the country as an attempt to "silence the reality" of the war in Gaza.

The Israeli government has until July 31 to execute this closure order, but Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu intends to implement it immediately.
This decision, Europa Press reports, is protected by a law on foreign media outlets, approved in April by the Israeli parliament, and now reported to the Israeli Supreme Court by the NGO Association for Civil Rights, which considers it an attack on freedom of expression.
This legislation authorises the Israeli government to order the country's television broadcasters to stop broadcasting Al-Jazeera, to close the television network's offices in Israel, and to confiscate the channel's equipment, including mobile phones, and block access to its website for a minimum period of 45 days, which may be extended.
In light of this situation, the Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) RSF calls for the immediate suspension of this "censorship law" which represents "a terrible precedent" for the exercise of journalism in Gaza and forms part of Israel's efforts "to silence the channel by all means possible because of its coverage of the reality of the fate of the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank".
RSF's Middle East Director, Jonathan Dagher, also took the opportunity to recall the three Al-Jazeera journalists who have been killed in recent years in operations by the Israeli army in Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon.
