Haaretz publisher petitions High Court against Israeli government's 'fundamentally illegal economic boycott' of the newspaper

Haaretz is asking the High Court of Justice to schedule an urgent hearing against the Netanyahu government's 'unreasonable' imposition of economic sanctions which are estimated will cost the newspaper millions of shekels. The petition says the boycott aims to 'silence and weaken' an outlet 'that dares to criticize the conduct of the government and its members'
