The Palestinian Authority has suspended Al Jazeera from broadcasting and operating in the occupied West Bank.

 

It accused the network of broadcasting “inciting materials” and “misleading reports” that “provoke strife and interfere in Palestinian internal affairs,” Wafa, the official Palestinian news agency, said Wednesday.

 

“The decision also includes the temporary suspension of all journalists and staff associated with it, as well as the channels under its umbrella, until its legal status is rectified, due to Al Jazeera’s violation of the laws and regulations in force in Palestine,” the Palestinian news agency said.

 

Al Jazeera condemned the decision, calling it “in line with the practices of the occupation against its crews.”
