About Jerusalem Post

Major Daily Center RightMedium credibility

The Jerusalem Post, founded in 1932 as The Palestine Post, was acquired by Mirkaei Tikshoret in 2004, an Israeli media firm controlled by Eli Azur. Eli Azur, who also owns Maariv, retains ownership of The Jerusalem Post through JPost Inc..

The Jerusalem Post is generally considered center-right in its editorial lean, despite describing itself as centrist, with Media Bias/Fact Check rating it Right-Center due to positions favoring the right-leaning government. Its credibility is assessed as 'Mostly Factual' by Media Bias/Fact Check due to instances of publishing false information, including a retracted article about a dead baby being a doll during the Gaza war and a false story about Canada receiving Palestinians. The outlet has also published op-eds by non-existent individuals. The broader media environment in Israel, as noted by Freedom House, has seen pressure on press freedom, with the government undermining public trust in independent journalists. Reporters Without Borders has also identified the Israeli army as a significant threat to journalists, particularly in Gaza. The headline sample reflects a strong focus on Israeli security, antisemitism, and regional conflicts, often presented from an Israeli perspective.

Reading context

Outlets in Israel often work under tighter political or legal limits than in countries ranked as fully free for press. We keep each headline's original tone on purpose, so you can see how stories are usually framed for domestic readers.
