An employee walks inside an office of Qatar-based Al-Jazeera network in Jerusalem June 13, 2017. The proposal to shut down Al Jazeera had been vetted by Israeli security officials and was being vetted by legal experts, Shloma Karhi said, adding that he would bring it to the cabinet later in the day. Al Jazeera and the government in Doha had no immediate comment. "It is unconscionable that Hamas spokespeople's message goes through this station," he said, adding: "I hope we will finish with this today." It was not clear if the latter statement referred to a cabinet discussion or implementation of a closure.
