Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.
Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.

Foreign ministers from Arab League member states and a group of Islamic countries will meet in Jordan on Wednesday, August 5, to discuss the current situation in Jerusalem. The meeting, hosted by Jordan, aims to formulate a unified position regarding the status of holy sites in the city and the broader regional situation. Attendees will include the foreign ministers of Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Qatar, Bahrain, Iraq, Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, Somalia, and Malaysia, as well as Arab League Secretary General Nabil Fahmy.
Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar will attend the meeting and is expected to hold bilateral talks on regional developments and the humanitarian situation in Palestine. The meeting will also include a call on King Abdullah II of Jordan. Discussions are expected to cover violence in the West Bank and international efforts to implement a two state solution.
Reports on the event differ in framing. A center left source frames the meeting as a response to a deteriorating situation and a manifestation of support for an independent Palestinian state based on pre 1967 borders, highlighting incursions by extremist Israeli settlers. A center right source frames the meeting as a discussion on the status of holy sites and the implementation of a two state solution, noting that Israel considers Jerusalem its indivisible capital while the international community calls for the maintenance of the status quo.
