Apartheid South Africa also tried to ban news media. It's a sign of extreme desperation and signals political vulnerability. Hopefully, Israel will get elections soon, and center- or left-leaning coalition government will pursue different foreign and military policies that a significant majority of Israelis prefer over the absurdity of the militarists and militant settlers.

EDIT: Haaretz is a good and honest news source that has been extremely critical of the current leadership. Also recommended documentary film: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gatekeepers_(film)
IMHO in The Gatekeepers [0] six former heads of Israeli internal security service Shin Bet in 2012 more or less predicted the current turmoil in Israel.
I saw from their eyes how our Israeli leaders really don’t want to solve the Israel-Palestian problem. … I think the Palestinian leaders suffer from the same horrible disease.

The Gatekeepers (2012) [1] a very rare documentary and interviews six former Shin Bet heads. They talked about Israel conflicts with a lot of independence.

One can include the narratives of the key figures depicted. One recent Israeli movie, The Gatekeepers, did so (for leaders of Israel's security service), and the differences in opinions remained unsettled at the end of the film.
