Israel's parliament has passed a law which could allow a potential shutdown of foreign broadcasters in the country - including Al Jazeera. The Knesset voted overwelmingly in favour of the law, which Israel has been pushing since the beginning of its war on Gaza. The law allows Israel to shut down any broadcaster if it deems its content 'threatens national security'.
