Al Jazeera went off Israel’s main cable and satellite providers in the hours after the order.
South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, who has come under fire in recent days for her admission to killing her misbehaving 14-month-old dog Cricket, has suggested that President Joe Biden’s dog Commander should meet the same fate.

“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.
