BENJAMIN NETANYAHU ANNOUNCES BAN ON AL JAZEERA IN ISRAEL

Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday that the country's government has decided to shut down Qatar's global news channel Al Jazeera's local branch. The remark comes amid a long-running tension between the country and the international news channel.

Netanyahu called the AL Jazeera incitement channel.

"The government unanimously decided: the incitement channel Al Jazeera will be closed in Israel," Netanyahu wrote on social media website X.

Earlier today, Benjamin Netanyahu rejected Hamas' demand for ending the war in Gaza in exchange for Israeli hostages, saying that would keep the Islamist group in power in Palestine, posing a threat to the former's country.

He added that Israel will not accept terms that amount to capitulation. He vowed that Israel will continue the war in Gaza till its aims are achieved.
