Israel-Gaza War, Al-Jazeera

Tel Aviv District Court: Al-Jazeera closure limited to one month, with no option for renewal

The court said while it was presented with convincing evidence that al-Jazeera is closely tied with Hamas and works to advance its agenda, the absence of a hearing before the ban was a serious procedural flaw.

The Tel Aviv District Court limited the ban on al-Jazeera broadcasting in Israel to 35 days, with no option for the government to renew the order.

The court said that it was presented with convincing evidence that the Qatar-based al-Jazeera news outlet worked closely with Hamas and serves to promote its agenda as Israel fights a war against it, including "realtime" broadcasts of the location of IDF soldiers, endangering their safety.

However, because Israel did not allow al-Jazeera to have a full hearing before the injunction shutting them down was issued, the court considers this to be a procedural flaw and decided to limit the injunction to just 25 days.

The case of al-Jazeera is also expected to come before the Supreme Court as the channel has also appealed there against the ban.
