Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu‘s Cabinet unanimously approved the shuttering of Qatar-owned media outlet Al Jazeera in the country, arguing it is acting against the Jewish State.

Netanyahu said the order approving the outlet’s closure will go into effect immediately on Sunday, nearly seven months since the war in Gaza between Israel and Hamas began. The Israeli government is using a law designed to allow the prime minister to take action against a foreign media channel that “is harming the state.”
