About Times of Israel
The Times of Israel is an Israeli online newspaper co-founded by Israeli journalist David Horovitz and American billionaire investor Seth Klarman. It operates as a private enterprise, with Klarman providing initial funding and the outlet relying on digital advertising revenue. Klarman has stated he has no editorial control.
Media Bias/Fact Check rates The Times of Israel as 'Left-Center biased' but notes one-sided pro-Israel reporting regarding Palestine, leading to a 'Mostly Factual' rather than 'High' factual rating. AllSides, in an independent review, rated the outlet as 'Center' but observed that its opinion section, 'The Blogs,' appeared to publish almost exclusively pro-Israel opinions. The outlet aims to provide independent, fair-minded news and analysis on developments in Israel, the Middle East, and the Jewish world. Past controversies include the publication of inflammatory content on its third-party blogging platform and the removal of op-eds from a falsified identity. The headline sample reflects a strong focus on Israeli politics, security, and international relations.

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.
