Israel is the next Middle Eastern nation looking to censor the Internet, in the name of child porn, gambling and piracy (not necessarily looking to engage with its enemies on the web like Hamas on Twitter).
Israeli police under a new Israeli bill will soon issue warrants to ISPs in the country to have websites blocked or seized, which is an initiative that was experimented on in 2010. This can possibly be done without hearing from the Israeli courts. The District Court of Tel-Aviv ruled that police do not have the authority to tell ISPs to block websites or IP addresses, but police still eager to support it under a new bill.
