Israeli satellite, cable providers yank Al Jazeera after gov't closure order
  • Country:
  • Israel

Israeli satellite and cable television providers suspended broadcasts of Al Jazeera on Sunday following a government decision to shutter the Qatari-owned station over alleged pro-Palestinian incitement.

"In accordance with the government decision, the Al Jazeera station's broadcasts have been stopped in Israel," read a message on the blacked-out channel of the Yes satellite service. The Hot cable service took similar action, witnesses said. (Writing by Dan Williams)
