Al Jazeera has denounced a threat by the Israeli Prime Minister to close the network's Jerusalem office, saying it will continue to cover events in the Palestinian territories professionally and objectively.
The media network responded on Thursday, hours after the Israeli leader posted defamatory comments about the outlet's coverage to his Facebook page, saying Al Jazeera journalists"incite violence".
"Al Jazeera denounces such arbitrary accusations and hostile statements," a press release from the network said.
Netanyahu's comments mark"yet another episode of the ongoing vicious attack" against Al Jazeera, the statement read, referring to calls by a Saudi-led group boycotting Qatar to close the network.
"Al Jazeera stresses that it would take all necessary legal measures in case they act on their threat," the statement continued.
"The network reiterates that it will continue covering the news and events of the occupied Palestinian territories, and elsewhere, both professionally and objectively."
Netanyahu's latest comments come amid a major fallout between Israeli authorities and Palestinians over Al Aqsa Mosque.
