Agence France-Presse (AFP) reported that Al Jazeera is allowed to resume work in the Palestinian territories again.

According to a statement from Al Jazeera's bureau chief, the channel has been granted permission to continue its work.

Since 2024, Al Jazeera's West Bank office has been subjected to numerous raids by the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF), with the Palestinian Authority (PA) eventually deciding in January 2025 to suspend Al Jazeera’s operations in Palestine, including halting its broadcast and temporarily shutting down its offices and staff activities.

Later, the Palestinian Ministry of Communications also ordered radio stations to stop airing Al Jazeera’s broadcasts.

The IOF continues its near-daily incursions into West Bank cities, carrying out arrests, field interrogations, home raids, and intimidation of residents. Reports indicate that the occupation currently holds over 10,000 Palestinian prisoners in its jails.
