Editorial stance: Strongly right-wing and pro-Netanyahu, often described as supportive of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Likud policies. Independent ratings: Media Bias/Fact Check rates Right biased; widely criticized for lack of critical coverage of the government.

Reliability: Rated Mixed factual by Media Bias/Fact Check due to poor sourcing in some reports, promotion of right-wing narratives, and failed fact checks. Regarded as a mainstream but partisan outlet, influential yet controversial for perceived propagandistic elements.
