<p>Israeli forces raided Watan TV and Al-Quds Educational TV, both in the Ramallah-district, and confiscated broadcasting equipment early Wednesday. An Israeli military spokeswoman said the TV networks were broadcasting illegally, which was disputed by the Palestinian Authority.</p>
<p>Ashton is &#8220;deeply concerned&#8221; by the raid, a statement said, adding that the incursion into PA-controlled territory is a &#8220;breach of (the Oslo) accords and puts in jeopardy the internationally recognized success of Palestinian institution building efforts.&#8221;</p>
<p>The 1993 accord &#8212; which gave the PA limited jurisdiction over the West Bank &#8212; established a joint technical committee to address disagreements over telecommunications, the statement noted.</p>
<p>Ashton &#8220;calls on Israel and the Palestinian Authority to use this mechanism to urgently resolve any issues concerning broadcasts by these companies,&#8221; it continued. </p>
<p>Both channels have worked with the EU, the statement highlighted. The US, which has funded the channels, is looking into the incident, a State Department spokeswoman on Thursday. France, another partner, urged &#8220;the Israeli authorities to return equipment confiscated.&#8221;</p>
