NEW DELHI: The Israeli parliament on Monday authorised a invoice granting prime ministers the ability to ban the broadcasting of Al Jazeera information channel in Israel—a transfer Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is more likely to pursue. The regulation, handed by a vote of 70 to 10, permits the ban of overseas channel broadcasts and permits the closure of their workplaces inside Israel. The regulation empowers the prime minister and the minister of communications to declare worldwide networks functioning in Israel to be in peril of closing and seizing their tools, if they’re deemed to be posing “an actual harm to the state’s security.”Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had beforehand vowed to “immediately act to close Al Jazeera” after the regulation is handed.
