Articles and headlines often are minimally biased and accurately describe the contents of articles like this IDF Describes And Publishes Footage Of Intense Battles In Northern Gaza’s Jabaliya Camp.

Editorially, they strongly support Israel and right-leaning Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with stories like this KOWTOWING TO DEMS? Biden Slams Israel’s “Indiscriminate Bombing” Of Gaza. This same story is also critical of Joe Biden’s approach to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. When reporting on former President Trump, they tend to hold slightly negative views, such as in this story: Journalists Wonder: What Might A Second Trump Presidency Look Like?
