Israeli authorities seized the equipment after accusing the U.S. news agency of violating a new “media law” by providing footage to the Qatari-based broadcaster Al-Jazeera, whose local offices were shut down May 5 under the new law, which authorizes the seizure of equipment, bans broadcasts and blocks websites.

The Biden administration, journalism organizations and an Israeli opposition leader have all pressured Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government after authorities seized equipment from AP journalists in Gaza.
