The White House expresses concern after the US news agency The Associated Press said that Israel had shut down its live video feed of war-torn Gaza.

“Obviously this is concerning and we want to look into it,” Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre tells reporters on US President Joe Biden’s plane as he traveled to New Hampshire.

Jean-Pierre says the White House believes journalists have the ability and right to do their jobs.

AP says the move came after Israeli authorities accused it of violating a new ban on Al Jazeera.

AP says authorities had also seized its camera and broadcasting equipment.
