Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called Al Jazeera a \"toxic media outlet,\" according to the network's own report on the remarks.
The report did not specify the setting in which Netanyahu made the comment, such as a press conference, interview or public address, nor did it provide the full context or additional quotes surrounding the remark.
Long-running tensions with the network
Al Jazeera's report did not detail what specifically prompted Netanyahu's characterization on this occasion, or whether it followed particular coverage by the network that he objected to.
It also did not include a formal response from Al Jazeera's editorial leadership to the comment, beyond the network's reporting of the remark itself.
Netanyahu's government has previously taken steps against Al Jazeera's operations in Israel, part of a broader, long-running dispute between Israeli officials and the broadcaster over its coverage of the region, including the war in Gaza.
Further details on any concrete measures announced alongside the comment were not included in the available report.
