Palestinian Authority Suspends Al Jazeera in West Bank Amid Clashes with Hamas-Aligned Militias
Jan 5, 2025, 09:45 AM
The Palestinian National Authority (PNA) has suspended the operations of the Qatari news network Al Jazeera in the West Bank, citing the network's alleged role in 'inciting sedition' and interfering in internal Palestinian affairs. The decision comes amid ongoing clashes in the Jenin refugee camp between PNA security forces and Palestinian militias aligned with Hamas. Al Jazeera has been a significant source of information on the situation in the Palestinian territories, including Gaza, and has condemned the PNA's decision, stating it aligns with Israeli occupation practices. The PNA's move has raised concerns about press freedom and democratic values in the region, with the Foreign Press Association in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories urging the PNA to reverse the suspension.
