Israel's Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi submitted a proposal to take action against Haaretz by ending the publication of government notices in Haaretz.

Karhi, a member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party, said the newspaper was "sabotaging Israel in wartime" and was an "inflammatory mouthpiece for Israel’s enemies."

Haaretz publisher Amos Schocken responded to Karhi’s proposal by saying, “If the government wants to close Haaretz, that’s the time to read Haaretz.”

Karhi's proposal, which would forbid the publication of official government notices in Haaretz, and would cancel all state employee Haaretz subscriptions – including those held by members of the IDF, the police, the prison service, government ministries and government companies

I think that Israel is now targeting Haaretz because Haaretz recently published the article about Israeli Apache Helicopters killing concertgoers at the music festival.

In my experience Haaretz is like, center-right at the least in its news coverage so I'm kinda surprised by that. Tho the other comment about the IOF helicopter coverage making them froth at the mouth is probably accurate
