- 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.

Every source for this story reports from Israel.
Former Knesset lawmaker Yoav Segalovitz announced on Monday that he is joining the United Arab List party for the 2026 Israeli election. Segalovitz, a former police commander, stated that political partnership between Jews and Arabs remains possible despite the Hamas led attack on October 7, 2023. He noted that the partnership aims to build cooperation based on trust and a shared effort to improve the country while breaking down political divides.
Ra'am chief Abbas emphasized the need to create partnerships and to see the other as a human being rather than an enemy. While both reports cover the same event, they differ in framing. The center leaning source describes the move as unprecedented, while the left leaning source focuses on Segalovitz's background as a former centrist and police commander.
