Amnesty censures Israel’s plan to shut down Al Jazeera operations in Jerusalem al-Quds

‘Amnesty International has denounced as “a brazen attack on media freedom,” the Tel Aviv regime’s decision to close the offices of Qatar’s pan-Arab broadcaster Al Jazeera in Jerusalem al-Quds.
“The move sends a chilling message that the Israeli authorities will not tolerate critical coverage,” Magdalena Mughrabi, deputy director for the Middle East and North Africa at the London-based group, said in a statement on Monday.
“This is a brazen attack on media freedom,” she added.
The Amnesty official also called on Tel Aviv to “halt any attempt to silence critical media,” saying that “all journalists should be free to carry out their work without facing harassment or intimidation.”
The condemnation came a day after Israel said it had plans to revoke the credentials of journalists working for the Qatar-based channel and also cut its cable and satellite connections over allegations of bias in its coverage of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.’
