    Israel follows hard line Sunni Arab states and plans to ban Al Jazeera

    The Israeli government said its decision is based on a similar ban by Sunni Arab states, amid their diplomatic rift with Qatar, which hosts and funds Al Jazeera.

    Israel is seeking to close Qatar-based broadcaster Al Jazeera's offices in the country and revoke its journalists' media credentials. Communications Minister Ayoub Kara alleged that the channel supported terrorism, and said both its Arabic and English-language channels would be taken off air. Al Jazeera has condemned the decision.
