00:00 Before watching the video, I remind you that there is more content on the Hotline.
00:04 After the Israeli-Japanese war, many civilians died.
00:09 In April this year, the Israeli authorities passed a new law
00:13 allowing the government to temporarily close foreign news agencies that threaten national security.
00:18 This caused suspicion that Israel was trying to control public opinion.
00:22 A few weeks before, the Israeli government announced that it would ban Qatar's Peninsula TV station
00:27 and operate it within Israel.
00:30 This is a new attack on another international media outlet.
00:33 Yesterday, Israeli officials in Israel approached the border of the Gaza Strip
00:37 and used the media to provide footage to the Peninsula TV station
00:42 and confiscated the camera and broadcasting equipment of the United Nations.
00:46 This caused the United Nations to suspend live broadcasts of Gaza.
00:50 The White House expressed concern about this and emphasized that freedom of the press is a democratic support.
00:56 The work of the White House should be respected and let reporters fulfill their duties
01:00 to monitor the situation in Gaza in order to ensure that the truth is released.
01:05 Yesterday, the United Nations broadcasted footage of the Gaza Strip.
01:10 The camera and broadcasting equipment were suddenly confiscated by Israeli officials.
01:14 The Israeli authorities accused the United Nations of providing footage to the Peninsula TV station
01:18 and violating the new foreign media law that Israel has imposed.
01:21 On the right, as you can see, there is Mar Yitzhak Hachbi on the roof, next to a camera,
01:25 and he is filming Gaza.
01:27 And on the left, as you can see, the Peninsula TV station,
01:29 exactly the same broadcast, a live broadcast from the camera on the roof.
01:34 The United Nations condemned Israeli officials' actions,
01:37 violated freedom of the press and urged to suspend the equipment.
01:40 The United Nations will continue to broadcast live in the Gaza Strip
01:44 in order to provide news material to the global media.
01:47 We at the Associated Press decry in the strongest terms the actions of the Israeli government,
01:52 which has shut down our long-standing live feed showing a view into Gaza and seized AP equipment.
01:57 This shutdown was not based on the content of the feed,
02:00 but rather an abusive use by the Israeli government of the country's new foreign broadcaster law.
02:05 In addition to the United Nations, the International Freedom of the Press, the US government and the United Nations
02:09 have also condemned Israeli actions of "ruthlessly blocking live media broadcasts."
02:13 Under the pressure of strong protests from multiple parties,
02:16 Israeli Minister of Communications Karzy announced last night that he would withdraw from the action
02:20 and ordered the return of the broadcast equipment to the United Nations.
