About Arab Times
Arab Times is an English-language daily newspaper published in Kuwait by Dar Al-Seyassah Press. It has been owned and edited by Ahmed Al-Jarallah since 1967, who also serves as the editor-in-chief.
Kuwait's press environment is considered 'partly free' by Freedom House and Reporters Without Borders, with laws restricting criticism of the emir, judiciary, religious figures, and foreign leaders. The Ministry of Information monitors and can take legal action against outlets publishing 'false or misleading news' that could cause political instability. The owner and editor-in-chief, Ahmed Al-Jarallah, is known for his strong editorial stance, including sharp criticism of Iran and its regional proxies, and advocating for Gulf states to normalize relations with Israel. While the outlet has published academic critiques of proposed government laws, its overall editorial line appears to align with Kuwaiti and broader Gulf state interests, particularly on foreign policy matters.
Reading context
Media systems vary by law, ownership, and editorial custom. We preserve each outlet's framing and add context so readers can compare coverage without treating one country as the default.
