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.

An Israeli strike in Beit Lahia, located in the northern Gaza Strip, killed a family of four, including two children aged 8 and 12. Medical teams and Palestinian officials reported that the victims were members of the Ahmad family. The Israeli military stated that it issued a warning before the attack and claimed the strike targeted a terror operative. Other reports indicate that the strike was carried out by a drone. While the Israeli military described the operation as targeting Hamas weapons facilities, sources with a left lean noted that Palestinian residents reported a broader wave of attacks on homes, with at least six houses struck across Gaza over two days.
