ISRAEL SAYS IT WILL BAN AL-JAZEERA FOR INCITEMENT

Israel said Sunday that it plans to ban Qatar’s flagship AlJazeera network from operating in the country over allegations that it incites violence, joining Arab nations that have shut down the broadcaster amid a separate political dispute. The news organization, in turn, said it would take legal action.

Communications Minister Ayoob Kara said he plans to revoke the press credentials of Al-Jazeera journalists, effectively preventing them from working in Israel.

Kara said he has asked cable and satellite networks to block Al Jazeera transmissions and is seeking legislation to ban them altogether.
