flag Israel bans five Palestinian media outlets, calling them terrorist-linked, sparking free speech concerns.

flag Israel has banned five Palestinian digital media outlets—Al-Asima, Mi’raj, Al-Quds Al-Bawsala, Quds Plus, and Al-Midan—designating them as terrorist organizations under a military order issued by Defense Minister Israel Katz. flag The move, made without public evidence, cites alleged ties to Hamas and incitement, particularly regarding East Jerusalem and the Al-Aqsa Mosque. flag The platforms, which operate outside East Jerusalem, had provided critical real-time reporting for Palestinians and international media. flag The ban is part of a broader crackdown since October 2023, coinciding with heightened violence, media restrictions, and the killing of over 250 Palestinian journalists. flag Human rights groups and press freedom advocates condemn the action as an attack on free expression, warning it deepens information blackouts and enables unchecked authority in occupied territories.
