- 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.

Former Gaza hostage Emily Damari married food influencer Danielle Amit in a wedding celebration in Tel Aviv on Thursday. The couple had become engaged in January 2026, one year after Damari was released from Hamas captivity. During the ceremony, Damari's mother, Mandy, spoke about the 471 days her daughter spent in captivity and expressed gratitude that Emily returned safely to begin a new chapter of her life.
The wedding was attended by several other former hostages, including Romi Gonen, Doron Steinbrecher, Liri Albag, Danielle Gilboa, Omer Shem Tov, Keith and Aviva Siegal, and Gali and Ziv Berman. Guests were asked to avoid wearing red, which is the color of the rival soccer team to Damari's favorite, Maccabi Tel Aviv. Yair Golan, leader of the Democrats Party, congratulated the couple on social media, stating that the wedding reminded him why they are there.
While both reports focused on the celebration, a center leaning source highlighted the emotional nature of the event and noted that Damari had to hide her sexual orientation from her captors. A center right leaning source focused more on the specific details of the guest list, the dress code, and the public congratulations from political figures.
