Israeli decision to shut down Al Jazeera is criminal, says channel management

Regarding the raid by the Israeli authorities on Qatar’s Al Jazeera television channel on Sunday and the removal of equipment from there by force, the channel management says that the time to close the Al Jazeera network in Israel has not yet been announced.

The Al Jazeera channel management called the Israeli decision a criminal act and a violation of human rights.

Al Jazeera’s bureau chief says that Israel’s decision is dangerous and political, and Al Jazeera’s legal team is working to file a lawsuit against the Israeli decision.
