Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared on May 5 that his government had unanimously voted to close down the local offices of Al Jazeera, a broadcaster owned by Qatar.
Netanyahu announced the decision on X, formerly known as Twitter, but specifics regarding the implications, timing, and permanence of the closure remained unclear.
This move marks an escalation in Israel's longstanding dispute with Al Jazeera and raises tensions with Qatar, particularly significant as Qatar is actively involved in mediating efforts to end the conflict in Gaza.
Israel's contentious relationship with Al Jazeera stems from accusations of bias against the network.
Yvette Cooper refused to comment on whether Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would be arrested if he visited the UK, following arrest warrants issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC) over alleged war crimes in Gaza. Cooper stated, "The ICC is independent, and we respect its position," adding that the UK government’s focus remains on pursuing a ceasefire in Gaza and addressing the ongoing challenges in the Middle East.

The U.S. Pentagon and President Biden have strongly condemned the International Criminal Court's (ICC) decision to issue arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. The ICC's charges against the Israeli leaders, including crimes against humanity and war crimes, have sparked a wave of criticism from Israel and the U.S., with both sides rejecting the court's jurisdiction. The ICC's move follows Senate threats of sanctions against the court, adding further diplomatic tension.
