Sanctions also prohibit government employees and any organization that receives government funding from being in contact with Haaretz. The government's motive for the ban is alleged "incitement against the State of Israel".

This media suppression action is only the latest escalation in a series of vindictive actions by the Israeli government as they attempt to control the narrative around its wars in Gaza and Lebanon. (Edited to add: this statement was drafted before Israel also started to bomb targets in Syria).

Haaretz has called Israel's wars "ethnic cleansing" and an "apocalypse". @amnesty.org Amnesty International and UN special rapporteurs have called them: genocide.

In September 2024, Israel took action against the Qatari broadcast service Al Jazeera, raiding their office in Ramallah in the occupied West Bank where they do not have jurisdiction, and ordering Al Jazeera's closure by military decree.

Now, the same tactics used to restrict foreign media are affecting their nation's most respected newspaper of record. This escalation represents a clear danger to press freedom in the region that should not be excused out of hand.
