Israel Seizes Video Equipment from Associated Press
ai generated text
The Israeli government has agreed to return a camera and broadcasting equipment seized from The Associated Press (AP) after accusing the news agency of violating a new media law. According to reports, AP had been providing images to the satellite channel Al Jazeera, which was shut down within Israel on May 5 by Israeli officials citing the same law. The Biden administration condemned the move, with some sources suggesting that the confiscation was a retaliatory measure against AP for its coverage of the conflict in Gaza.
Israel's record on press freedom already has been dismal throughout the war.
With this decision, Israel joins a dubious club of authoritarian governments to ban the station.
It has prevented independent access to Gaza for foreign journalists.
