Anne Applebaum wrote that "the Voice of Palestine will remain what it has become: a combatant—and therefore a legitimate target—in a painful, never-ending, low-intensity war". On 20 March 2023, Israeli authorities ordered Voice of Palestine to be banned from operating within Israel. Israel closed the Voice of Palestine's office in East Jerusalem , which is considered part of the West Bank , and Palestinian territories under international law.
