The decision came after the PA closed Al Jazeera’s office in the occupied West Bank last week.
The Magistrate Court of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank has ordered the closure of several Al Jazeera websites for four months, a court document shows – the latest restriction by the Palestinian Authority (PA) on the network.
In a letter dated Sunday, the Attorney General’s Office demanded the Palestinian Ministry of Communication implement the court’s decision by shutting down aljazeera.net, aljazeera.net/live, aljazeera360.com and global.ajplus.net
The order asked all companies licensed for radio and satellite broadcasting to abide by the decision “under penalty of legal accountability”.
According to the document, the websites published material that “threaten national security and incite the commission of crimes”.
The latest move came after the PA closed Al Jazeera’s office in the occupied West Bank last week, temporarily suspending its work – a decision the network has denounced.
