Analysis / Bias

In review, the i24 News website presents original news reporting with minimally loaded wording such as this: Microsoft: Iranian hackers targeted a US presidential campaign. i24 News also publishes news from the AFP, rated least biased. Editorially, they cover both sides of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and cover USA news with impartiality. When reporting on former right-wing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, there is a slightly negative tone such as this: Netanyahu considers party primary to shore up leadership, shifts blame from Lapid to Gantz.

Generally, news reporting is factual, properly sourced, and contains pro-Israeli bias.
