Haaretz has condemned the action, describing it as another step in [Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu's journey to dismantle Israeli democracy, raising serious concerns about freedom of the press.
The proposal, if enacted, could cripple the 105-year-old newspaper financially and force it to shut down, leading to questions about the survival of free media in Israel.
