Palestine lifts ban on Al Jazeera's operations in Palestinian territories

Ramallah, May 13 (UNI) Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas lifted on Monday a months-long ban on the operations of Al Jazeera television, allowing the Qatar-based media outlet to resume activities in the Palestinian territories starting Tuesday, according to local media.
Al Jazeera's West Bank bureau chief Walid al-Omari confirmed the decision, stating that the broadcaster's teams will return to work in accordance with local regulations and media protocols.
The Palestinian Authority imposed the ban in January, citing concerns over what it described as "incitement and threats to civil peace" in Al Jazeera's coverage.
