- 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.

US envoy Jared Kushner stated that Israel is acting a little irrational in certain aspects regarding Gaza because of upcoming elections. Speaking during a visit to Kiev, Ukraine, Kushner noted that the United States and Israel agree on the end state for the Gaza enclave. He described the upcoming Israeli elections as crazy and suggested they are influencing the country's current behavior.
Kushner characterized Gaza as a place that has been dystopian for a long time, claiming it was basically built by NGOs and terrorists. He asserted that the US changed the way aid is delivered to prevent funds from being diverted to terrorist organizations. Kushner claimed that Gaza now has one of the lowest malnutrition rates in the world, though a center right source noted that Médicos del Mundo previously warned of a major health crisis and food insecurity in the region.
Regarding the future of the territory, Kushner admitted that the demilitarization of Gaza will not be easy. This follows previous statements where he promised Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that reconstruction would not begin until Palestinian militias are disarmed.
