Al Jazeera’s Ramallah bureau chief said on Monday the news channel could resume working in the Palestinian territories after president Mahmud Abbas lifted a ban in place since January. “Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has decided to lift the ban on the Al Jazeera network and allow its crews to resume work in the Palestinian territories starting tomorrow morning,” Waleed Omari said in a statement to Israeli-Palestinian Foreign Press Association. The Ramallah-based Palestinian Authority (PA) ordered the suspension of the Qatar-based channel’s broadcasts on January 1, accusing it of incitement.
