Journalists and human rights groups are denouncing Israel’s plan to shut down Al Jazeera’s office in Jerusalem and revoke the press credentials of Al Jazeera’s journalists in Israel. The Committee to Protect Journalists called the shutdown undemocratic and said, “Censoring Al Jazeera or closing its offices will not bring stability to the region, but it would put Israel firmly in the camp of some of the region’s worst enemies of press freedom.”
