Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has praised Communications Minister Ayoob Kara\u2019s recent decision to close the Qatari-based news channel Al Jazeera\u2019s Israel office.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI congratulate Minister of Communications Ayoob Kara,\u201d Netanyahu tweeted on Sunday, \u201cwho, in accordance with my instructions, took practical steps today to stop Al-Jazeera\u2018s incitement in Israel.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Earlier on Sunday, Reuters reported that Kara decided to close the station for \u201csupporting terrorism\u201d and that he will \u201crevoke press credentials of Al-Jazeera TV journalists, close their Jerusalem bureau and pull the Qatar-based station\u2019s broadcasts from local cable and satellite providers.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Haaretz World News Editor Asaf Ronel, however, tweeted that Kara only \u201cwants\u201d to close the channel but has not yet taken action. Indeed, Reuters notes that \u201cfurther legislation\u201d will be necessary in order to do so.<\/span><\/p>\n

Al Jazeera has met with accusations of anti-Israel bias and antisemitism for years. However, it is also controversial within the Arab world. In particular, it has been accused of serving as a mouthpiece for the government of Qatar and a supporter of Islamist groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood.<\/span><\/p>\n

Al Jazeera journalists have been arrested in Egypt, and Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Jordan have shut down its offices in their respective countries. Saudi Arabia and a coalition of Arab states issued a series of demands to Qatar in February that included the station\u2019s immediate and permanent closure.<\/span><\/p>\n
