TEL AVIV, Israel — Israel ordered the local offices of Qatar’s Al Jazeera satellite news network to close Sunday, escalating a long-running feud between the broadcaster and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s hard-line government as Doha-mediated cease-fire negotiations with Hamas hang in the balance.

“Are you doing this to try to look tough?” moderator Margaret Brennan asked Noem.
“Joe Biden’s dog has attacked 24 Secret Service people,” Noem explained.
