Israeli officials seized equipment from Al Jazeera on Sunday, hours after Israel’s Cabinet approved a decision to halt the Qatar-based TV news network’s operations in the Jewish state — an unprecedented step toward becoming an international media outlet .
Inspectors from the Ministry of Communications, accompanied by police, arrived at the Al Jazeera office in Jerusalem, seized equipment and closed off access. Al Jazeera’s broadcasts and access to its website have been blocked throughout Israel.
Shlomo Karhi, Israel’s Communications Minister, posted a video clip of the raid on X, formerly Twitter, where the inspectors can be seen and heard naming the equipment they found.
