- The Palestinian Authority lifted its indefinite ban on Al Jazeera broadcasts in the West Bank on May 13, 2025, allowing the network to resume operations there.

- The ban’s removal lets Al Jazeera journalists work freely under Palestinian Authority control but highlights ongoing tensions with Israeli authorities who still block the network.
