Editorial perspective of The Times of Israel

The Times of Israel is positioned toward the editorial center, or its orientation is mixed or not consistently classified.

Crosswire groups Israel outlets into left, center and right so you can read the same day's events from more than one vantage point. Seeing The Times of Israel beside outlets of a different orientation makes editorial choices — which stories lead, which framing is used, what gets omitted — far easier to spot than reading any single source alone.

Leanings shown on Crosswire are approximate editorial orientations drawn from widely cited media-bias assessments (such as AllSides, Ad Fontes Media and Media Bias/Fact Check) and from each outlet's reputation. They are offered to help you read the same story from different perspectives — not as definitive or exhaustive judgements. Where a confident rating was unavailable, an outlet is shown as centrist.
