Israeli Government Boycotts Haaretz Over Critical Coverage

The Israeli government has voted to boycott Haaretz, the country's oldest newspaper, due to its critical coverage of the Israel-Hamas war. This decision, led by Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi, involves halting government communications, advertising, and subscriptions with Haaretz. Press-freedom advocates criticize the move as an attempt to silence dissenting media voices, likening it to actions by leaders like Putin and Erdoğan. Haaretz has condemned the boycott, asserting it undermines Israeli democracy.

Israeli Government Cuts Ties with Haaretz Over Critical Coverage

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.

Israeli Detention of Palestinians in Gaza: Reports of Deaths and Abuse Spark International Calls for Investigation

Several Palestinians from Gaza held in an Israeli military detention facility have died under unclear circumstances, according to a report by Haaretz. The detainees, including women and children, are held in fenced compounds with their eyes covered and hands cuffed for most of the day. They sleep on thin mattresses on the floor with lights switched on all night. The Israeli military claims those who died were "terrorists" and the deaths are under investigation. Human rights activists argue that the detainees are being held under the "unlawful combatants law" without a fair trial. Israel has killed nearly 19,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, since October 7.
