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.

Every source for this story reports from Israel.

The bodies of three men were discovered overnight Sunday in a burning vehicle in an open area near the city of Baqa al-Gharbiya. Investigators believe the victims were murdered before the vehicle was set on fire. Police have opened an investigation into the incident and stated that the motive was likely criminal. No arrests have been made. One report notes that the location is within the Triangle area of Arab towns in central Israel and adds that the homicide toll for 2026 has reached 205.
