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 United Nations and the World Health Organization have demanded the protection of healthcare facilities in Gaza after an attack damaged a medical storage unit near the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital. UN Deputy Spokesperson Farhan Haq stated that the attack on Saturday destroyed essential medical supplies delivered by the WHO and caused minor damage to the hospital building. Haq emphasized that health facilities must never be attacked or militarized.
Israeli military operations over the weekend included airstrikes and shelling across various areas of Gaza. The Israeli military reported killing two Palestinians on Saturday and destroying two warehouses near a hospital that reportedly stored medications. While Palestinian health authorities stated that two people were killed in an airstrike in the Sheikh Radwan area of Gaza City, an Israeli military spokesperson claimed the targets were Hamas militants.
The Gaza Ministry of Health reported that July saw 150 deaths, including dozens of civilians, marking the highest monthly death toll this year. Farhan Haq condemned all civilian deaths, noting that reports indicate dozens of people, including children, were killed during the weekend's hostilities.
