The United Nations, UN, has underscored the importance of press freedom following Israel\u2019s decision to close broadcaster Al Jazeera\u2019s operations in the country.<\/p>\n

The UN spokesman, Stephane Dujarric, in New York said they stood firmly against any decision to roll back freedom of the press.<\/p>\n

\u201cA free press provides an invaluable service to ensure that the public is informed and engaged,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST recalls that Israel\u2019s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said his Cabinet had unanimously voted to close broadcaster Al Jazeera\u2019s operations in Israel.<\/p>\n

The move came after Israeli lawmakers approved a new media law widely referred to as the \u201cAl Jazeera law\u201d that gives the government powers to ban foreign broadcasters if they are deemed a risk to state security.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Al Jazeera has decried the Israeli decision and vowed to pursue \u201call avenues\u201d available to protect its rights and employees.<\/p>\n
