- A hatched block means the outlet is affiliated with, or controlled by, a state.
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.

Bezalel Smotrich, leader of Religious Zionism, and Moshe Feiglin, chairman of Zehut, announced on Wednesday that they will run on a joint slate for the Knesset in the upcoming election. Feiglin will take the number two spot on the list. Smotrich has urged other right wing parties to join the effort, warning that the achievements of the current government are at stake. In response to the announcement, newcomer Ofer Winter stated that the people of Israel want something new. While a center leaning source describes the move as a joint run by right wing parties, a left leaning source characterizes the slate as far right and describes Feiglin as a fringe ex lawmaker.
