- A hatched block means the outlet is affiliated with, or controlled by, a state.
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.
A recent TV survey indicates that the pro-Netanyahu bloc has pulled even with its opponents, with both sides predicted to hold 53 seats. This shift comes as Prime Minister Netanyahu warns that infighting could risk his right-wing bloc's chances of re-election next month. The pro-Netanyahu side may benefit from the predicted entry of Ofer Winter to the Knesset and a merger between Religious Zionism and Zehut. Meanwhile, the anti-Netanyahu bloc is facing internal challenges. Officials from the Together party are calling for a merger with Gadi Eisenkot's party as Naftali Bennett's party trails in the polls. Some veterans have also left Yesh Atid as predicted seat numbers sink. Center-leaning reports focus on the statistical shift toward parity between the two blocs, while a left-leaning report emphasizes the decline of Bennett and Lapid's influence within the opposition.
