Why are press freedoms curtailed in the West Bank?

If military censorship is already legally sanctioned then why would Israel's security be threatened by press freedom in the occupied areas?

Israeli journalists are banned from the West Bank. "Palestinians" demanded it. Some Israeli journalists have been detained and threatened.
It is not an Israeli ban but a "palestianian" ban.
They probably do not want to see how they fake their "news stories" and it gives the PA total control of the info coming from "palestine". They do not want their human rights violations being reported on. Makes making Israel "the bad guy" SO MUCH EASIER.

So once again, Israel is seen as the bad guy and in fact, its the "palestinians" who have done it.

Remember, the PA authority control the west bank

So you do not need to direct your question at Israel but at "those poor oppressed "palestinians" who are the ones who created the ban.

I wish it wasn't, then you'd hear about all the gay men that Palestinian Authority arrests and tortures. Wait...you still wouldn't.
