flag YouTube faces criticism for complying with Israel’s 90-day livestream ban on Al Jazeera, seen as a threat to global press freedom.

flag Al Jazeera condemned YouTube’s compliance with Israel’s 90-day ban on its livestreams in the country, calling it a violation of international free expression rights and a failure to uphold UN business human rights principles. flag The ban, based on a 2024 law allowing temporary closures of foreign broadcasters deemed a national security threat, was renewed in December 2025. flag Al Jazeera linked the move to broader Israeli actions against its journalists, including the killing of over 270 media workers since October 2023 and the closure of its offices in Gaza and the West Bank. flag The network demanded YouTube reverse the ban, called for international scrutiny of tech companies’ compliance with political censorship, and warned of a dangerous precedent for global press freedom.
