Israeli officials seized a camera and broadcasting equipment belonging to The Associated Press in southern Israel on Tuesday, accusing the news organization of violating the country’s new ban on Al Jazeera. Shortly before the equipment was seized, it was broadcasting a general view of northern Gaza.
Al Jazeera is one of thousands of AP customers, and it receives live video from AP and other news organizations. Condemnation from journalism organizations was swift, and the Biden administration also put pressure on Israel. Israel has long had a rocky relationship with Al Jazeera, accusing it of bias against the country, and Netanyahu has called it a “terror channel” that spreads incitement.
