Ammon News - The Associated Press said in a statement on Tuesday: "The Associated Press (AP) 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."

The news agency added that the occupation did not cut news feed because of the content it was covering but for what it called an "abusive use by the Israeli government of the country’s new foreign broadcaster law".

"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."
