Palestinian media: Fatah banned Al Jazeera in West Bank over coverage of Jenin clashes
Palestinian media reports that Fatah has banned the Al Jazeera satellite channel from operating in the West Bank, due to its coverage of recent clashes between PA forces and terror operatives in Jenin.
According to the reports, Fatah, which dominates the PA, accuses the Qatari network of labeling the terror operatives from Hamas and Islamic Jihad as resistance fighters and promoting ISIS-style extremism.
Israel, along with Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Egypt have all banned Al Jazeera over separate but similar allegations of bias.
