- 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.
The owner of each outlet is listed as a matter of record, not as a judgement about the outlet.
Every source for this story reports from Israel.
The Israel Defense Forces has named Bar Kalifa, the current chief of the Personnel Directorate, as the new top officer for the West Bank. The appointment follows a public announcement by Defense Minister Israel Katz on television. In a separate development, the military confirmed that a woman has been appointed to command the Artillery Corps' 282nd Regiment for the first time. Reports differ on the circumstances surrounding the transition. A left leaning source notes that the appointment follows a tenure marked by increasing settler attacks and mentions that Katz initially fired Avi Bluth on television before retracting the decision a day later.
