How have both Israeli and Palestinian authorities contributed to the decline in press freedom in Palestine?

The conflict has severely impacted press freedom in Palestine, dropping its ranking to 163rd out of 180 in the World Press Freedom Index 2025. This decline reflects not only the high number of journalist killings but also systemic issues like Hamas and Islamic Jihad's restrictions on journalists suspected of collaborating with Israel, and the Palestinian Authority's restrictive cybercrime law. The situation is exacerbated by Israel's actions, including limiting access to interviews with Prime Minister Netanyahu to journalists favorable to his administration.
