Haaretz decried the boycott as a step towards dismantling Israeli democracy, citing Prime Minister Netanyahu's attempts to silence independent media similarly to leaders like Putin and Erdogan.
Anat Saragusti of the Israeli Journalists' Union expressed concern over the motion to sanction Haaretz, highlighting ongoing threats to press freedom and media gatekeeping in Israel.
Deputy editor Noa Landau affirmed Haaretz's resilience on social media, stating, 'We will not be deterred,' showcasing the newspaper's commitment to independent journalism against state pressure.
Critics argue that the government's moves against Haaretz reflect a broader pattern of restricting media freedom in Israel, including legislative efforts and intimidation tactics against journalists.
