Jerusalem, May 21 (Reporters Lu Yingxu and Wang Zhuolun) Israeli Communications Minister Karshi issued a statement on the evening of the 21st, announcing the cancellation of the ministry’s decision that day to confiscate the Associated Press’s live broadcast equipment and ordering the equipment to be returned to the Associated Press.

The Israeli Ministry of Communications issued a statement earlier on the 21st, saying that the Associated Press conducted a live broadcast of an attempt to track the activities of our military and forwarded the video material to Qatar Al Jazeera. This practice violated Israel’s media law. The Ministry confiscated the Associated Press’s camera that day. The Ministry of Communications will continue to take necessary law enforcement actions to restrict news broadcasts that endanger national security.

The Associated Press reported that Israeli Ministry of Communications officials confiscated Associated Press camera equipment in the southern Israeli city of Sderot that day. Qatar Al Jazeera is one of the users of live video broadcasts by the Associated Press and other news organizations. The Associated Press condemned the government’s abuse of media laws and urged it to return equipment.

A White House spokesman said on the same day that the United States is concerned about this and is in contact with the Israeli government and demanding that Israel reverse the situation.

The Knesset passed a law on April 1 this year, authorizing the government to temporarily shut down foreign television stations operating in Israel for a period of 45 days, but could be extended in the name of endangering national security. The Israeli government announced on May 5 that it had decided to shut down the branch of Qatar Al Jazeera in Israel and ban its channels from broadcasting in Israel.
