Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu welcomed the law’s passing, saying that “Al Jazeera has harmed Israel’s security, actively participated in the October 7 massacre, and incited against IDF soldiers. It’s time to remove Hamas’ mouthpiece from our country.”

He added: “The terrorist channel Al Jazeera will no longer broadcast from Israel. I intend to take immediate action in accordance with the new law to halt the channel’s activities.”

        71 out of a total of 120 MKs voted for this, 10 opposed it. This is more than just Bibi.

          Oh yeah, its his party, he’s just the face.
          It’s the offshoot of the same party that led Albert Einstein to distance himself from the concept of Israel back in the late 1940s.

          Also, allegedly that most of the reason Hamas got to execute their October 7th plot in the first place was that Bibi had all of those soldiers off intimidating the judges that were overseeing his multiple criminal trials

            Likud has 32 MKs at the moment. So that’sess than half of the votes for the bill.
