CAIRO, May 12 (Xinhua) -- The Arab League on Tuesday condemned the Israeli's decision to close Palestine's official Television office in East Jerusalem and prevent its crew from working in the city and in Israel for another six months.
"It is an attempt to cover the crimes of Israel and its plans to change the legal and historic position of Jerusalem city," said Saeed Abu Ali, Arab League assistant secretary general for Palestine affairs and occupied Arab territories.
He stressed that the move is "a flagrant violation against the Palestinian rights and existence especially amid the Israeli preparations to annex wide areas of the occupied West Bank."
On Monday, the Palestinian Radio and Television Corporation said Israel decided to close the Palestine Television office and prevent its crew from working in Jerusalem for six months.
The Israeli decision was condemned by the Palestinian Ministry of Information, the Fatah Movement, and the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate. Enditem
