The Palestinian Authority (PA) has suspended Al Jazeera's operations in the occupied West Bank, accusing the Qatari-owned channel of incitement and bias. The decision follows the network’s coverage of a security crackdown in Jenin refugee camp, where 11 people were killed. Al Jazeera called the move an attempt to "hide the truth" about events in the region. PA security forces issued the suspension order at Al Jazeera’s Ramallah office. The network denies the accusations, asserting its impartiality. Critics argue the PA is suppressing dissent amid declining public support and tensions with rival factions like Hamas and Islamic Jihad.
