Netanyahu revives moves to shut Qatar's Al Jazeera TV in Israel

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu revived moves on Monday to shut down Qatari satellite television station Al Jazeera in Israel, saying through his party spokesperson that parliament would be convened in the evening to ratify the necessary law.

Thereafter, Netanyahu "will take immediate action to shut down Al Jazeera by procedure set out in the law," the Likud party statement said. Israel has previously accused the channel of working with Hamas in the Gaza war.
