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.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu formally rejected a 15 point peace plan for Gaza announced by US President Donald Trump on Sunday. Netanyahu stated that the Israeli military will not carry out any withdrawal from the enclave until Hamas is genuinely disarmed of all weapons, including heavy weaponry. He further asserted that no Palestinian state will be established as long as he remains prime minister. The plan, developed by the US led Board of Peace, proposed a phased Israeli withdrawal in tandem with the disarmament of Hamas and the handover of weapons to a new Palestinian governing body.

Despite the public rejection, officials from the Board of Peace told Reuters that the plan remains operative and that discussions with Israel are continuing. Some reports indicate a gap between Netanyahu's public statements and actions on the ground. These reports suggest that Israel has scaled back airstrikes, limited targeted killings to imminent threats, and approved a small Emirati backed pilot project for temporary housing in Rafah. Some Israeli military sources claimed the IDF has already repositioned to the original Yellow Line, which covers approximately 53 percent of the Strip.

President Trump responded to the rejection by stating in the Oval Office that his relationship with Netanyahu remains very good. Analysts suggest Netanyahu's public stance is driven by domestic politics, as he faces elections on October 27 and seeks to appease far right coalition partners and voters who oppose the plan. Hamas has stated that it remains committed to the roadmap and has called on the US to pressure the Israeli government to adhere to the process.

Outlets with a center left lean frame the event as a sign of Israeli hypocrisy or a tactical move by Netanyahu to block peace for political gain. Center right sources frame the rejection as a justifiable security measure due to the ambiguous sequencing of the disarmament. Center leaning sources focus on the tension between Netanyahu's public rhetoric and the reported military implementation of the plan's terms.
