Gaza City - Egypt Today
Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman said that he was in favor of closing the offices of Qatari channel Al-Jazeera, after several Arab states did so.
“There is no reason for Al-Jazeera to continue to transmit from Israel,” he told public radio. “It is not media, it is a propaganda outfit in the style of the Soviets or Nazi Germany”, The Times of Israel reported on Thursday.
“All the reporting on Israel is biased and hostile, while the channel says nothing about Iran,” he added.
Asked when the bureau could be closed, he said they were seeking a “legal solution.”
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had raised the possibility of a closure on Monday, Israeli media reported.
