| Qatar-based broadcaster Al Jazeera has vowed to take legal action against Israel after the Israeli government's decision to close the TV network's bureau in Jerusalem.
"Al Jazeera denounces this decision made by a state that claims to be 'the only democratic state in the Middle East'," the broadcaster said in a statement on Monday.
Israeli Communications Minister Ayoub Kara said on Sunday he has demanded the Government Press Office rescind the reporters' press cards from Al Jazeera's staff. He is working with cable and satellite providers to remove Al Jazeera's broadcasts in Israel.
Al Jazeera, which has been repeatedly accused of bias by the Israeli authorities, said the "Israeli minister could not substantiate his comments by referring to a single news bulletin or situation that proved Al Jazeera had not been professional nor objective during its coverage in Jerusalem."
