* 'Guess Which Newspaper Didn't Report on Hamas Stealing Baby Food.'

"This is, of course, Haaretz, which throughout the war accused Israel of not bringing exactly the same food into Gaza." Shlomi Ben-Meir, Presspectiva, Dec 17, 2025</ref> exposes, slams 'Haaretz' for failing to report on reports that Hamas hoarded tons of baby formula and nutritional supplements in Gaza Ministry of Health warehouses. It was published, among others, in ''Ynet'', New York Post, citing Palestinian-American activist Ahmed Fuad al-Khatib, who posted photos on X Hamas deliberately hid supplies to exacerbate a perceived hunger crisis, damage Israel's reputation, pressure for a halt to military operations, and revert to UN aid distribution over the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF).
The piece contrasts this with Haaretz's wartime coverage, which repeatedly accused Israel of supposedly insufficient aid delivery to Gaza, implying bias in its selective reporting.
'Solomon’s Wisdom: Antisemitism, Haaretz and What Lies Between.'
<ref>[https://www.camera.org/article/solomons-wisdom-antisemitism-haaretz-and-what-lies-between/ Solomon’s Wisdom: Antisemitism, Haaretz and What Lies Between]. Dec 24, 2025</ref>
Dec 2025, Media watchdog CAMERA analyst slams 'Haaretz' English edition editor Esther Solomon's letter to subscribers, which condemned antisemitism from both left and right (e.g., MAGA figures like Nick Fuentes and Candace Owens). Ben-Meir points out that while Solomon's condemnation is welcome, her promotion of Haaretz as a tool against antisemitism is undermined by the newspaper's history.
Key accusations include:
- Haaretz content being cited approvingly by antisemites (e.g., neo-Nazis sharing articles, Candace Owens referencing it to defend accusations against Israel).
- Publisher Amos Schocken's past statements calling Palestinian fighters "freedom fighters" and accusing Israel of apartheid.
- Whitewashing antisemites whonare 'also' critical of Israel (e.g., Richard Falk, Roger Waters).
- Publishing columns with antisemitic tropes (e.g., dual loyalty, Jewish control, blood libels) by writers like Gideon Levy and others.
It references a 2016 widely reported where journalist Jeffrey Goldberg distanced himself from Haaretz for similar reasons, concluding the paper legitimizes and spreads antisemitism rather than combating it.
* On December 29, 2025, "IDF Cuts Spokesman Subscription to Haaretz ." <ref>[https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/420077 IDF cuts spokesman subscription to Haaretz]. "The IDF Spokesperson's subscription to Haaretz was halted in line with a government decision from November 2024 calling on government bodies to sever ties with the newspaper." ''Israel National News''. Dec 29, 2025</ref> The IDF Spokesperson's Unit canceled its subscription to "Haaretz', along with subscriptions for other senior officials, implementing a November 2024 government decision. This directive halts all government advertising in Haaretz and urges ministries, state bodies, and funded corporations to cease engagement with the newspaper.
The government ,explained move by accusing Haaretz of publishing wartime editorials that undermined Israel's legitimacy and right to self-defense, and citing publisher Amos Schocken's statements supporting sanctions on Israeli leaders and describing Palestinian Arab butchers terrorists as "freedom fighters" while hurling the "apartheid" slur.
The decision reflects what the government is stating it would not tolerate media support for "enemies" during wartime.
