Israeli officials have seized a camera and broadcasting equipment belonging to the Associated Press in southern Israel.
Israeli officials seized a camera and broadcasting equipment belonging to the Associated Press in southern Israel on Tuesday, accusing the news organization of violating a new media law by providing images to Al Jazeera. The Qatari satellite channel is one of thousands of AP customers, and it receives live video from AP and other news organizations.
“This government acts as if it has decided to make sure at any cost that Israel will be shunned all over the world.” Karhi, Israel's communications minister, responded that the law passed unanimously by the government states that any device used to deliver Al Jazeera content could be seized. “We will continue to act decisively against anyone who tries to harm our soldiers and the security of the state, even if you don’t like it,” he wrote to Lapid on X.
