Arutz Sheva

Arutz Sheva, also known as Israel National News, is a religious-Zionist media network founded in 1988 that grew from a radio station into one of Israel's principal right-wing news sites. Publishing in Hebrew at inn.co.il with a companion English edition, it is consistently characterized as right-wing, reflecting perspectives of the settler movement and national-religious community.

How Crosswire groups Arutz Sheva

Crosswire groups Arutz Sheva as Right-leaning for comparisons within Israel's directory. This is an approximate Crosswire label, not a verified rating of its individual articles or a claim that every journalist shares one position. In Israel, Haaretz is listed as Left-leaning, while The Times of Israel and Ynetnews are listed as Centrist — so you can open Arutz Sheva beside a title of a different orientation and compare the same day's front pages directly.

Compare Arutz Sheva with another outlet from Israel covering the same event and edition. Record the headline, publication time, named sources and links to original evidence. Similar leaning labels can still produce different coverage; a different label does not guarantee an independent source. Check the articles before interpreting a front-page difference as bias.

This is an approximate orientation, not a definitive judgement — and not a rating of quality or accuracy. Read how Crosswire classifies editorial leanings. This profile does not include an individual assessment citation. Page updated ; this is a content-change date, not a fresh fact-check of the outlet. Think this label is wrong? Suggest a correction.
