Israel's government plans to boycott Haaretz newspaper, citing allegations of incitement against the state. The move includes a halt to government advertising in the publication and prohibits engagement with it by government-funded organizations. Haaretz is known for its critical stance on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's right-wing coalition and its recent support for a ceasefire to secure the release of hostages held by Hamas. The boycott has drawn condemnation from international press freedom advocates, who see it as part of a broader effort to restrict press freedom in Israel.
