CAIRO: The Palestinian Authority suspended the broadcast of Qatar`s Al Jazeera TV in occupied West Bank on Wednesday over `inciting material`.

A ministerial committee that includes the culture, interior and communications ministries decided to suspend the broadcaster`s operations over what they described as broadcasting `inciting material and reports that were deceiving and stirring strife` in the country.
