Israel's government has moved to shut down the operations of the Al Jazeera television network in the country on May 5, branding it a mouthpiece for Hamas.

Police raided the Qatari broadcaster's office at the Ambassador hotel in Jerusalem on Sunday. Their equipment had been taken in the raid.

However the blockage is effectively only partial, as the channel is still accessible through Facebook in Israel.

Al Jazeera called claims it was a threat to Israeli security a "dangerous and ridiculous lie".

For years, Israeli officials have accused the network of anti-Israeli bias.

Last month, the Israeli parliament passed a law giving the government power to temporarily close foreign broadcasters considered a threat to national security during the war against Hamas.

Naturally,the shut down of Al Jazeera in Israel has been criticised by a number of human rights and press groups.

I guess, Al Jazeera may be the network of anti-Israeli bias. But I can’t agree with this decision of the Netanyav government. Israel's actions definitely violate press freedom.
