Tehran, 17 June_Israeli military forces have committed 56 violations against Palestinian journalists in the occupied Jerusalem al-Quds since the beginning of the current year, says a non-governmental organization representing writers, photographers, media workers and online journalists from Arab countries.
The Britain-based Journalists Support Committee (JSC) stated that among the instances of violation Israeli troops had expelled four journalists from the sacred city during the mentioned period. They have also arrested seven and summoned another 14 to investigation centers.
In May, the committee said, Israeli Minister Gilad Erdan extended for six more months an earlier decision to close Palestine TV’s office in East Jerusalem al-Quds and ban the network’s activities in the city and across the occupied territories.
Erdan first issued the closure in November 2019, under the pretext that Palestine TV is affiliated with the Palestinian Authority, banning its crew members from working in al-Quds.
