Take all the cameras and leave; Israel Shuts Down Al Jazeera Bureau In Ramallah By Israeli Forces – News18 Kannada Achi-News

Israeli forces raided the offices of the Al Jazeera satellite news network in the Israeli-occupied West Bank early Sunday morning.

The background office has been ordered to be closed for 45 days.

What did Al Jazeera say?

Qatari broadcaster Al Jazeera said today that it has ordered the closure of 45 Al Jazeera stations following an attack on its office in Ramallah. “The Israeli soldiers brought many weapons and masks into the building. The order to close the office was passed on to Walid al-Omari, head of the West Bank office, early on Sunday morning. No reason was given for the decision,” Al Jazeera reported.

Closure order for 45 days

“There is a court order to close Al Jazeera for 45 days,” an Israeli soldier told journalist Walid al-Omari, Al Jazeera reported. “I ask you to take all the cameras and leave the office right now,” the soldier said in Arabic.

The attack comes months after Israel banned Al Jazeera from operating inside the country in May. In May, Israeli authorities raided a hotel room in Jerusalem that Al Jazeera was using as its office. The equipment was seized there. In Israel, Al Jazeera blocked its broadcasts and blocked its websites. Now the center in the West Bank has been attacked.
