Israeli parliament passes law paving way for Al Jazeera ban

The bill gives the government the authority to stop Al Jazeera from broadcasting in Israel. Netanyahu had called for the Knesset to pass the bill and has promised to “immediately act to close Al Jazeera”, according to AFP and the Times of Israel.

The law passed its final reading by a 71-10 vote on Monday evening and also gives the government the authority to close the offices of foreign channels in Israel.
