International Federation of Journalists condemns Israel for using "national security as excuse" to censor critical media
The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) has strongly criticized the Israeli government for employing "national security as an excuse" to censor critical media and dissenting narratives. The condemnation comes in response to Israeli Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi`s proposal on November 23rd to cease any state-related advertising, subscriptions, or commercial connections with the progressive Israeli newspaper `Haaretz,` citing alleged "defeatist and false propaganda during wartime."
In a statement, the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) urged the government to review its decision and lift restrictions on press freedom in the country. The IFJ also expressed concern at the Israeli Government`s apparent drift into restricting press freedom and undermining media pluralism and the public’s right to know.
