Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu welcomed the law’s passing, saying that “Al Jazeera has harmed Israel’s security, actively participated in the October 7 massacre, and incited against IDF soldiers. It’s time to remove Hamas’ mouthpiece from our country.”
He added: “The terrorist channel Al Jazeera will no longer broadcast from Israel. I intend to take immediate action in accordance with the new law to halt the channel’s activities.”
A democracy where voters are only allowed access to news sources that the government approves of. Israel having another totally, very normal day.
If it makes you feel any better, Israel officially hasn’t been a democracy since 2018.
