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 airstrikes killed between 8 and 13 Palestinians in Gaza on Sunday, marking the second consecutive day of attacks. The strikes targeted areas in Gaza City, Deir al-Balah, and Khan Younis. The Israeli military stated that targets included Hamas Nukhba force commanders and military agents, while Palestinian health officials reported that victims included women and children. These attacks occurred despite an announcement by US President Donald Trump regarding a breakthrough in implementing a ceasefire agreement from the previous year. Trump stated that Hamas had agreed to disarm under a US supported initiative, and his Board of Peace published a 15 point roadmap for the final stages of the deal. However, the agreement has not been implemented. Hamas stated it will hand over weapons only after Israeli forces withdraw, while an Israeli official told Reuters that withdrawal would not happen without genuine disarmament. Israeli Energy Minister Eli Cohen stated there is no deal to stop the attacks and argued that Israel should take full control of the enclave, of which it currently controls 70 percent.
Simultaneously, tensions are escalating between the United States and Iran. Reports indicate that President Trump is reviewing military operations targeting Iran's energy infrastructure, including power plants and oil refineries, to erode the regime's governing capacity. Some reports suggest Iran has used the ceasefire period to coordinate a wider regional campaign with Hezbollah, the Houthis, and Iraqi militias to increase the cost of US military action. While some analysts suggest Trump's threats are a tactic to avoid actual war, others argue the strategic focus has shifted toward crippling Iran's military sustainment and regional deterrence.
