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 Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has stated that the Israeli army will not withdraw from its current positions in the Gaza Strip until Hamas is fully disarmed. These comments follow a disarmament deal announced by US President Donald Trump, though Netanyahu's statements appear to contradict the terms of an October ceasefire agreement.

Simultaneously, reports indicate conflicting signals from Iran. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian told Hamas political bureau head Khalil al-Hayya that Tehran would support any decision made by Palestinian leaders in negotiations. However, Axios reported that officials from Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) urged Hamas not to sign the disarmament deal during a recent visit to Iran. A senior US official claimed Iran attempted to convince Hamas to reject the deal, but that the group did not listen.

White House Board of Peace officials told The Jerusalem Post that Hamas had many concerns and that months of delicate negotiations were required to reach the current breakthrough. The US intends to move forward with implementation in the coming weeks.
