2. Why didn't ABC publish the reason for this?

Does anyone seriously think that Israel randomly bans the press for no reason? Does anyone think that the Israelis ban the press simply because they print something unfavorable (as opposed to publishing in favor of ending the state)? If that were true, then there would be many others banned. It isn't that much of a stretch to figure that this has something to do with alleged Qatari support for terrorism, and the effort to get them to stop. Why didn't ABC publish that, or at least ask about it?
