ISRAEL: Officials seized the AP news agency’s broadcasting equipment in the south of the country today, accusing it of violating a new media law by providing images to Al Jazeera.
The Qatari satellite channel is among thousands of clients that receive live video feeds from the AP and other news organisations.
“We urge the Israeli authorities to return our equipment,” the organisation said today, “so we can continue to provide this important visual journalism to thousands of media outlets around the world.”
