Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper said that the Israeli government approved the proposal of the Minister of Communications to have government bodies sever their ties with Haaretz newspaper.
The Israeli government voted unanimously to boycott Haaretz, considering its positions offensive to Israel.
According to the government, this comes "after a series of articles and positions offensive to Israel, which reached its peak with the newspaper's publisher, Amos Schocken, considering Palestinian resistance fighters "freedom fighters" and calling for sanctions to be imposed on the Netanyahu government (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu)."
The government considered it "unreasonable for an Israeli newspaper to defend Israel's enemies and call for sanctions against it at a time when the state is waging war and facing international efforts to delegitimize it."
