Israeli officials seize AP equipment, citing alleged media law violation

- Israeli officials have seized a camera and broadcasting equipment belonging to The Associated Press (AP) news agency in southern Israel, accusing the news organisation of violating a new media law by providing images to Al Jazeera.
The Qatari-owned media network and satellite channel is among thousands of clients that receive live video feeds from the AP and other news organisations.
The AP denounced the move and accused the government of abusing the recently passed foreign media law.
“The Associated Press decries in the strongest terms the actions of the Israeli government to shut down our longstanding live feed showing a view into Gaza and seize AP equipment,” said Lauren Easton, vice president of corporate communications at the AP.
“The shutdown was not based on the content of the feed but rather an abusive use by the Israeli government of the country’s new foreign broadcaster law. We urge the Israeli authorities to return our equipment and enable us to reinstate our live feed immediately so we can continue to provide this important visual journalism to thousands of media outlets around the world.”
Officials from the Communications Ministry arrived at the AP location in the southern town of Sderot on Tuesday afternoon and seized the equipment. They handed the AP a piece of paper, signed by Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi, alleging it was violating the country’s foreign broadcaster law.
Al Jazeera's correspondent Mohammed Jamjoom reports from the Jordanian capital, Amman, while Kimberly Halkett reports from Washington, DC.
In addition, Carlos Martinez de la Serna, the Program Director at the Committee to Protect Journalists, joins us from New York City to discuss the latest updates.

The guilty will always try to cover their crimes. That is what fascism is.
Why they take bodies of dead palestiniens to israthell???
🇺🇲🇮🇱
♥️🇵🇸♥️🇵🇸♥️🇵🇸♥️🇵🇸♥️🇵🇸♥️
@christopherneufelt8971 Why don’t you? Since you seem to know?
In this case the entire world is watching the Nazi’s in action
They will do anything to cover their crimes!
Or try!
Disgusting, how they keep getting away with their despicable behavior
You can't hide truth forever!
well, you can't hide an elephant with a translucent plastics. it's too obvious.
They can't even hide it now. Desperate from Israel
@@Marta1Buck Well they tried! Slim budget? Smile! Thank you dear!
This is how Fascism works.
Exactly. North Korean style
@christopherneufelt8971 BORING. You commented this before.
@@user-wq9eg3nm4cNorth Korea, however, does not lie and claim to be the 'only democracy' in Korean peninsula.
@@christopherneufelt8971definition: Israel
@@christopherneufelt8971 you keep asking for a definition... Perhaps look it up? If you don't agree, then offer a different viewpoint?
Israeli impunity knows no boundary. What is the US going to do?.
I read that they have asked the Israeli government to return the equipment to AP. I think it has been returned.
What is the us going to do? NOTHING.
The US will do nothing just agree and say Israel has the right to defend itself but tell other countries how wrong they are
@@user-wq9eg3nm4cYeah, the Communications Minister has reversed his decision on the seizure. I don't think it has been returned yet, as of this post.
One thing, we don't know why they reversed it. Was it US pressure or the worldwide pressure. Either way they should have never started down this ant-freedom path.
@@user-wq9eg3nm4cis that because AP has US ownership? Genuine question.
They keep testing boundaries.
They recreate boundaries
They DESTROY boundaries
They keep expanding their boundaries
they have no limits. Eventually everyone gets fed up.
To anyone who thinks Biden respects the free press, I have two words: Julian Assange.
When Israel committed daylight war crime, so called USA jumping never to condemned it but rather "Concerning" 🤣 what a world we live in. Time for countries to isolate US and UK
💯 i swear i cannot take this anymore why they get away with so much crimes 😠 😡
Let's see who will be cheated next
Clearly and slowly it’s coming their true colors acting like heroes and guardians of the world is over
Yes
Yes Anglo Sydney australia
So this is how a free democratic country works everything is a security risk to them
And the response from the USA------ It has raised it's concerns with Israel.
Talk about the tail wagging the dog!
Fascism when information is censored
Fascism is their ground base
Fascism is their identity
@christopherneufelt8971 BORING. You commented this before.
All armies censored war zone. Pretty common.
@@christopherneufelt8971no need to define fascism at this stage we get the gut feeling of it all at this time no risk.
They dont want proof to be on film.
A bit late for that. The old guard running this genocide probably simply can't comprehend the idea that images and evidence of their crimes are already circulating around the world.
Because aljazera is only showing one side,,,,, why can't they show wat HAMAS is doing those israel women in their hostages?
@@gbuploads8462 Are you still in denial that Israel is committing genocide? We all know Hamas is a terrorist organisation; Israel is supposed to be an upstanding democratic state and has killed thousands more People than Hamas ever did or would even be capable of.
The only reason they did this is becos the guilt hurts. They r afraid that the idf is losing the war. The truth will prevail.
IDF already lost. big time
Take off the aluminum hat
Son of God does not mean that God has a child in Christianity!
*what a mistake in the Qur'an!*
*what a mistake in the Qur'an!*
Allah himself testifies that he has a son and he is the son as Christians understand it! Only the Koran writer was too ignorant to know what Son of God means! Allah's word which created everything is Allah himself too! *The Word Allahs which created everything is the Son of God according to Christianity!*
@@Hannestv4607 u r misquoting the Quraan. We r the children of God. Ur claim that christ is God. When christ prayed who was he praying to if u claim Jesus is God. Ur ll r confused.
@@rahamankhan2895 *what a mistake in the Qur'an!*
Education helps! There are different titles Son of God!
One relates to creation (humans, angels, demons)
One relates to the Word of God!What your book doesn't know
They are terrified the truth will be disclosed to the world.
We've already been watching the last 7 months in real time.
We have already seen it 😢
There isn't anything terrified so far.
Too late. The icj has a ton of footage of israel’s crimes against humanity.
Go on some UA-cam channels and read the comments. Israel still has support unless it’s bots.
No lie can live forever.
US has been “concerned” and “asking” for 7 months. When are they going to take real action?
We have a g side denier in the whitehouse. We have a self-proclaimed z io in the WH. The usa won't ever take action. It's up to voters to do it.
It is just a concerned, why take action?
The action they take is to accept more $$ from a i p a k
Every day! We keep sending more, and more weapons as they demand them. Boy, will little squinty eyed Joey show them! He is a 'big' man (In his own mind!) as he hides under his desk with his hands over his ears and his eyes tight closed endlessly repeating, "I don't see any wrong doing!" What a disgusting figure of a toady "leader"!! He takes the side of the Israeli Nazis over that of a US citizen!! The very definition of a traitor!
Only if Netanyahu can't pay... $
Obviously this is not about the AP. They want to do whatever they are planning to do without the presence of cameras. Period!
Exactly! 🎯. I wondered how long it would be before they shut it all off! 🤬
1000% hence the Iranian distractions 👀👀😡😡😡
So called democracy in action 😂
YOU CANNOT HIDE YOUR SINS!!! We see who you really are!!!
Fascists
When USA and UK still find ways and means to back ur crime
Oh well, it's not like we had a shred of a doubt about their good manners 🤗
Shrink of doubt. Is that english
@talksmoke1190 U desperate much?
Good thing Israel is a democracy! jajajajajajaj!
It's called distant association, 10x removed. That's how they shut down every one to their crimes. Then they cry pogrom.
These guys are obviously crazy.
Go spy on someone else
@talksmoke1190 Stop talking smoke.
Stop your delusion

@talksmoke1190 Waste of Oxygen. Too much Carbon Dioxide coming from you.
What are they sooooo scared of??? That the truth will hurt them? It's a bit late for that, we all know the truth. 😊
They're getting desperate...
Freedom? Democracy? Hahaha nice try
Spy somewhere else

That account posted the same comment on numerous other comments, I think it's just a troll farm.
@madmaverickmatt Yes, I noticed that. They are like pests in these comment sections.
@madmaverickmatt You are right. They are everywhere. Oh well. At least responding to these critters will improve the videos algorithm.
Gotta turn off the cameras because they are about to do something really terrible.
Bingo
Unfortunately, that's my thought. 😲😢😢🥺🤬
Kim Jong take note. You could learn somethng from the only democracy in the middle east.
It’s like they have read the Apartheid playbook
Exactly.
Gee, that doesn't look suspicious or anything. How have we let the Netanyahu regime get away with so much?
Ask America and Iran. They are one. They must know.
Spy somewhere else
@talksmoke1190 BORING.
We aren’t the ones controlling the weapons.
Chances are that live feed has footage that they don't want people Seeing.
All this is proof of their fear
YES
Cover up for their crimes
Great democracy 👏
This is what we see
what happens behind the scenes
They've gone mad
LOL 🤣 WOW! that's not a surprise at all! Trying to cover their tracks now that arrest warrants are being issued!
Who said we are the only democratic country in the Middle East?😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The world must continue to denounce such crimes against human rights.
Go spy on iran
Is real a disgusting state. Never firget, never forgive.
Shades of the 1939 attack on Poland. But this is the digital age taking cameras and equipment won't do a thing. Everyone has a camera, everyone and everything is recorded and everything always ends up on the internet.
Unfortunately, if it is not shown on mass media it does not have much effect. This why Isreal is killing journalists in Gaza and not allowing foreign journalists into Gaza.
Shutting down the Internet????? 😞
There is saying that says they look my neighbor,i was silent, next they took my parents and i make noise finally they come for me and I'm no more. The Day Israel occupation forces shut Aljazeera news network was the day that needed Strong response from the whole Media channels,it too late
Wow is this the only democracy in the Middle East everyone keeps talking about

Excellent, good for al jazeera
The pettiness is astounding. Depriving other clients because of one client. And, disgusted by the about-face because AP is not AJ. Sigh.
The white house is concerned being concerned doesn't mean that there going to change a thing we need action
Desperate much?
Criminals
Perhaps it’s a bit farfetched - but I cant help thinking that it’s to allow the settlers to gradually move in, secretly.
No Cams no visual evidence, got it now.
This is pure madness what is this ? Am a young man and I have never seen any thing like this
War crimes 101
A bit late the world has witnessed and stands as jury.
pure evil.
Nothing to see here folks....move along....move along.
They think they can run away from this crime
Most times when you restrict the press, your doing something shady.
RIP Shani Louk, this is for you.
Truth will ALWAYS PREVAIL! A SMOKE CAN'T BE HIDDEN😁😁
The Truth is painful
Isreal is so sloppy it’s embarrassing
Of course they did. How else would they control the narrative?

Great what and who is next lovely
That’s so insane
Only democracy in the middle east
Definitely not fascists. Nope.

Yep
🤦🏾
Shameful, Shamelessness, with impunity, without end.....
What is Israel's problem....? What they want....? Do they want that, every country should be loyal to Israel like UAE, Bahrain, Jordan and Saudi Arabia....😮....?
What do they want? All the land. And no more pesky indigenous folks who want to remain in their homes.
The camera is antisematic...can see clearly how degraded Zionist mentality...but dare to say other people indiginous...
so technically, AP has violated the law by being a proxy of a banned entity
Oh the Zionists 😂
North Korea is looking pretty tame these days.
@BertGraef not as lame as the Zionists, can't beat them 😀
😢😢Didn't the West shut down RT 😢😢😢DIDN'T HEAR NO OUTCRY 😢😢😢❤
Very democratic country Israel... very democratic
AP is now a Hammas state television 🤣🤣🤣
But Nothingyahoo sead that Israel is a democratic country just yesterday....
doesn't sound like democracy to me.
6:00 WHAT THE WHAT?!!!!! 🤦🤯🤦 NO EVIDENCE?!! Smh just disgusting denial till the end huh? 👿 EVIL
Should have left it al Al Jazeera but we see what you are doing.
This is very bad fr alllllll of us in this world of ours my god
"Democracy"
the violation is to report the truth on the field
The US had expressed its “concern” and asked war criminals to “investigate” this themselves, as usual.
No worries guys. 😂😂😂
I don’t think Jews are safe right now because of the status quota in Israel 🇮🇱
Well, that's how the most "democratic😂 state" on earth deals with the press.
It's called Collective punishment
It was only filming smoke in the distance, not the murders.
The WH playing "verbal gymnastics " is ludicrous to me!
"Concern" please
What does Israel have over the US?
What a great democraty!!!
Kim Jong is impressed and taking notes.
Niemoller -- if you don't speak up when they come for your neighbor, who will be left to speak up when they then come for you?
