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.

Israeli police took control of a UNRWA vocational training center in East Jerusalem on Tuesday. During the operation, police expelled approximately twenty employees and hoisted the Israeli flag at the site. A spokesperson for the UN agency stated that this action sets a precedent with heavy consequences for the United Nations and its agencies. The head of UNRWA characterized the seizure as part of a broader effort by Israel to eliminate the agency and the Palestinian refugee issue. While a center-leaning source framed the event as Israel defying the UN, a center-left source framed it as a strategic attempt to erase the refugee issue.
