- 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.

Two Palestinian teenagers were killed on Wednesday during a raid involving Israeli settlers and the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in the village of al-Mughayyir in the occupied West Bank. The Palestinian Health Ministry and local officials reported that the deceased were aged 16 and 19. One other Palestinian was reported seriously injured. The IDF stated that its forces entered the village to provide security for police and a civilian attempting to retrieve livestock. According to the military, troops fired upon key instigators of a violent disturbance involving people throwing stones. Palestinian sources and local reports claim that settlers stole sheep before the military entered and that snipers had taken positions on rooftops ahead of the killings.
Outlets with a center-right lean framed the event as a violent riot by terrorists throwing cinder blocks and stones at soldiers. In contrast, center-left and left-leaning outlets framed the event as a raid by settler militants supported by the army. These sources noted that the incident occurred amid a broader wave of intensified settler violence and the expansion of settlements in the West Bank. The IDF noted that the incident is under review.
