Palestinian Authority Bans Qatari Al Jazeera in West Bank Over Biased Coverage of Jenin Operation
Dec 23, 2024, 07:02 PM
The Palestinian Authority (PA) has banned the Qatari Al Jazeera television network from operating in the West Bank, following its coverage of the PA's recent counterterrorism operation in the Jenin refugee camp. The decision to ban Al Jazeera was made by the Fatah movement, led by Abu Mazen, and comes in response to what the PA perceives as biased reporting favoring Hamas and other terrorist groups. The PA's operation in Jenin, aimed at regaining control from armed militias, has been criticized by Al Jazeera presenters and Qatari journalists, who accused the PA of serving Israel's interests by targeting these groups. The PA's move to ban Al Jazeera also includes prohibiting the network's crew from covering the funeral of a security officer killed during the operation in Jenin, where tensions between PA forces and local terrorist factions have escalated.
