Media outlets say censor barring them from reporting on reason PM’s testimony put off

Lazar Berman is The Times of Israel's diplomatic reporter

A day after the Tel Aviv District Court approved Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s request to delay today’s hearing due to “special circumstances,” multiple Hebrew-language outlets say Israel’s military censor is barring them from reporting on the reason behind the delay.

The episode comes amid statements from Israel and US officials that significant progress has been made on attempts to reach a hostage deal with Hamas.

Netanyahu’s spokespeople have been declining to speak today.
