The Israeli authorities have announced the extension of the closure of Al Jazeera's office in Ramallah for a further 90 days, marking the 12th time this extension has been implemented. This decision is based on emergency regulations that were originally established under the British mandate in Palestine in 1945. It reflects the ongoing tensions between Israeli officials and the news organization, which claims to provide crucial coverage of events in the region.

In May 2024, the Israeli government approved a proposal from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court, and Minister of Communications Shlomo Karhi to shutter the Al Jazeera offices in Israel. This decision was used to justify immediate enforcement, activated through a document signed by Karhi under what is termed the "Al Jazeera Law." This measure illustrates the Israeli government’s increasing efforts to control media narratives and restrict foreign media presence that it perceives as unfavorable.

September saw the Israeli army invade the Al Jazeera office in Ramallah under military orders, where they delivered a closure notice and confiscated equipment and documents. Workers were prohibited from accessing their vehicles, effectively limiting their operational capabilities. Al Jazeera has consistently denied the accusations made by the Israeli government, categorizing them as baseless, and warning of a systematic campaign from right-wing entities aiming to undermine its journalism and freedom of the press in the region.
