The Israeli government, led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has decided to shut down Al Jazeera's operations in the country. The decision was reportedly unanimous and initially valid for 45 days, with the possibility of extension. In response, Al Jazeera English news director Salah Negm stated that the network will pursue all possible legal action until the end. Israeli authorities raided Al Jazeera's office on Sunday, seizing its broadcasting equipment. The US has expressed concern over Israel's move to shut down the network, which is one of the few media outlets broadcasting from the Gaza Strip.
