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.
An Israeli man in his 20s was moderately to seriously wounded after being stabbed at the Maoz Yehuda farming outpost in the West Bank on Monday morning. The IDF reported that the assailant arrived at the farm in a car and asked the victim if he was armed before attacking him. Following an hour long manhunt involving elite units, the IDF located the assailant near his vehicle in the area of Qabalan. The military stated that the assailant attempted to stab soldiers upon being found and was killed by an IDF commander. The victim was treated by first responders and evacuated to the Rabin Medical Center Beilinson Campus.
In response to the incident, Defense Minister Israel Katz stated that he and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have directed the IDF to prepare for an all out war against senior officials and mechanisms of the Palestinian Authority (PA) if Israel identifies plans for an October 7 style attack. Katz specified that such a campaign would include the elimination of senior officials and the destruction of terrorist infrastructure in Judea and Samaria. Prime Minister Netanyahu commended the soldiers who eliminated the assailant and vowed to continue destroying terrorist infrastructure.
