The Mossad has expressed support for a decision to shutter Al Jazeera's Israeli branch, Kan News reported Monday morning, APA reports citing Israel National News.
Among other things, one of the reasons is that Al Jazeera journalists reveal the locations of IDF forces.
IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant (Likud), the Foreign Ministry, and the National Security Council have all expressed support for closing Al Jazeera, due to its incitement against Israel.
According to the report, the Shin Bet holds a more reserved position, saying that it is difficult to prove the crime of incitement, but at the same time does not oppose closing Al Jazeera's Israel office.
