Netanyahu called the AL Jazeera incitement channel.

“The government unanimously decided: the incitement channel Al Jazeera will be closed in Israel,” Netanyahu wrote on social media website X.

Earlier today, Benjamin Netanyahu rejected Hamas’ demand for ending the war in Gaza in exchange for Israeli hostages, saying that would keep the Islamist group in power in Palestine, posing a threat to the former’s country.

He added that Israel will not accept terms that amount to capitulation. He vowed that Israel will continue the war in Gaza till its aims are achieved.

Israel has been fighting a protracted war against Hamas since October 7, when the group’s fighters stormed the former’s cities and killed 1200 people, including women and children.

The health ministry of Hamas-run Gaza said on Sunday that 34,683 people have died during the seven-month-old Israel-Gaza war. Over 78018 people have been wounded in the Gaza strip.

The United Nations has called for an immediate ceasefire as there is a famine in northern Gaza.

The death toll in Palestine has also resulted in strained ties between Israel and its ally the United States.

The United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken has blamed Hamas for stalling a ceasefire. He said the only thing standing between the people of Gaza and a ceasefire is Hamas.
