Al Jazeera slams ‘dangerous’ Israeli plans to close broadcaster
Al Jazeera “deplores” Israel’s decision to close the broadcaster’s offices in the Jewish state and will pursue the matter through legal channels, says an official at the Doha-based news channel.
“Al Jazeera deplores this action from a state that is called the only democratic state in the Middle East and considers what it has done is dangerous,” says the official who declined to be named.
He says the broadcaster “will follow up the subject through appropriate legal and judicial procedures.”
