What an overblown headline.
Netanyahu’s office demanded that ministers not make statements to the media regarding the assassination
Wow. The only dude that actually read the article instead of reacting to the headline got down voted. Lemmy truly is just DIY reddit.

What do you think the difference between "media silence" and "ministers not making statements to the media" is?
It's not really about what I think.
Ordering media silence means the media has been ordered not to report on something, like the Chinese media and declining economic indicators. That's not the case here.
That would be a government enforced media silence - media silence just means people not talking to the media or the media not reporting on a subject, it doesn't require a direct order from the government to the media to not report on something. Media might create a voluntary silence, where they agree not to report on a subject, or might have a silence pushed on them, like football's "silenzio stampa", where teams will refuse to talk to or interact with the press when they're unhappy with reporting.
