This is the best summary I could come up with:
JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli officials seized a camera and broadcasting equipment belonging to The Associated Press in southern Israel on Tuesday, accusing the news organization of violating a new media law by providing images to Al Jazeera.
“The Associated Press decries in the strongest terms the actions of the Israeli government to shut down our longstanding live feed showing a view into Gaza and seize AP equipment,” said Lauren Easton, vice president of corporate communications at the news organization.
We urge the Israeli authorities to return our equipment and enable us to reinstate our live feed immediately so we can continue to provide this important visual journalism to thousands of media outlets around the world.”
Officials from the Communications Ministry arrived at the AP location in the southern town of Sderot on Tuesday afternoon and seized the equipment.
They handed the AP a piece of paper, signed by Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi, alleging it was violating the country’s foreign broadcaster law.
Al Jazeera is one of the few international news outlets that has remained in Gaza throughout the war, broadcasting scenes of airstrikes and overcrowded hospitals and accusing Israel of massacres.

Israel is a ‘democracy’
Truly the beacon of freedom in the Middle East.
They have Western Values.
Early XX Century Germany, to be more precise.
USA 2024 values
Really doesn’t speak so kindly of USA and its values
“If it isn’t documented, it didn’t happen!”
Livestreaming atrocities is antisemitic.
Indeed it would be unfortunate if the press started printing gruesome images of skeletal starving women, men and children, isn’t it… You know, photos that reminded people of some sort of horror that was revealed 80 years ago.
