Israeli Government Cuts Ties with Haaretz Over Critical Coverage
TL;DR Summary
The Israeli government has sanctioned the newspaper Haaretz, cutting all ties and ceasing communications and advertisements, following comments by its publisher, Amos Schocken, that were perceived as supportive of Palestinian 'freedom fighters' and critical of the Israeli government. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu endorsed the proposal, which was criticized by Haaretz as an attempt to silence independent media. The decision was made without legal review, and the attorney general's office was reportedly unaware of the proposal.
