White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre pointed out on Monday that reports of Israel aiming to implement a ban on the Arabic news outlet Al-Jazeera were "deeply concerning."
"If reports are true, it is deeply concerning that Israel plans to shut down Al Jazeera," Jean-Pierre said. "The United States plans to reach out to Israel for more information on this." She further emphasized the importance of free and independent media.
Earlier, the Israeli Knesset approved the aforementioned ban, giving the government the power to close offices of foreign channels in Israel. "The terrorist Al Jazeera will no longer broadcast from Israel," the parliament added.

The amazing shoebil
China is a big player too.
Buying up parts of Africa especially ports if a Country defaults on a loan.
China's "belt and road" comes to mind. Which is a scam, but desperate Countries
sign up regardless.

It is even crueler than it says on the tin - 'Critics say the legislation is so broadly drawn that someone could be considered a nuisance for sleeping in a doorway, being deemed to have an excessive smell or looking as though they intend to sleep rough.'

Does that mean that old people who have that old person smell are now criminals?
It could be a great way to 'clean up' the House of Lords.
'He's fearless, nothing fazes him'
Jade de Monyé bought Figaro, a Maine Coon cross Ragdoll, after a previous pet was killed on the road.
Inspired by world-travelling adventure cat Suki, Ms de Monyé, from Shropshire, decided to harness train Figaro from the off.
"He's fearless, nothing fazes him," she said, adding that Figaro took to the harness straight away and within a week she took him out, later introducing a carrier.
"I've never seen a cat that's so happy to just be out - he's always got the little happy high tail, his eyes are never big and scary," she said.
"I'll open the car door with his lead on and it's up to him if he wants to get out. I never push him into anything."
Jade de Monyé always phones public venues ahead to check whether she can bring Figaro and avoids places with dogs off leads
Diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2019, Ms de Monyé said taking Figaro on walks had "changed her life".
"On my days off I'd just shut myself away and feel sorry for myself," she said. "He almost forces me to get out of the house."
"It's not like walking a dog," she said. "It's going where the cat wants to go. He does like to sit a lot at the water's edge and just watch all the birds.
"You can 100% train a cat, it's just a lot harder," she added.
"Now I'm just the crazy lady that constantly repeats herself at a cat."
