In a bold move, Israel has ordered the closure of local Al Jazeera offices, accusing the network of bias.

The Foreign Press Association has criticized the move, labeling it a 'dark day for the media.' Al Jazeera has vehemently condemned the Israeli government's decision and faces immediate shutdown of its operations in Israel.

The Committee to Protect Journalists has also condemned Israel's vote to close Al Jazeera, warning of the implications for press freedom. Amidst ongoing tensions, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced the imminent closure of Al Jazeera's operations in Israel. The closure comes as Israeli police raided Al Jazeera's office, taking the channel off the air with unanimous cabinet support.

The decision to shut down the network amid the Gaza conflict has sparked controversy and highlighted the power dynamics in media control.
