Al Jazeera Network

Center of Activity: Qatar

For years, the veteran network has promoted messages from the Muslim Brotherhood, including an entire program by one of its spiritual leaders, Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi. Against this background, a conflict broke out between the Arab states and Qatar, since the network openly supported the Arab Spring protests. Al Jazeera is known for its cooperation with Hamas, which included broadcasting interviews with senior members of the terrorist organization's military wing, but also silencing criticism of it during the war. Despite demands to block its broadcasts in Israel, Al Jazeera continues to broadcast.

Al Mayadeen Network

Center of Activity: Lebanon

The basis of the channel is a distribution of Al Jazeera media personnel against the backdrop of the civil war in Syria. The channel expressed support for Assad remaining in power against the Islamist rebels. Moreover, during the war, the channel echoes the messages of Hezbollah and Iran. As a result, it was decided to take action against the channel in Israel, but it is still available online.

Al Arabiya Network

Center of Activity: United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia

The goal of the Saudi channel and its little brother Al-Hadath is to compete with Al Jazeera's enormous influence. In addition to criticism of Israel, the channel broadcasts harsh criticism of Hamas and interviews with Gaza residents who complain about the difficult situation created in the Gaza Strip by the terrorist organization.

Al Manar Network

Center of Activity: Lebanon

A media outlet under Hezbollah's full control that broadcasts Nasrallah's speeches and the propaganda of the terrorist organization. His writings take part in psychological warfare and provocations against the IDF on the northern border in the days before the war.

Al Malka Network

Center of Activity: Jordan

A channel broadcasting the government's messages from Amman. Expresses outright sympathy for Hamas while criticizing and mocking Israel.

Sky News and BBC in Arabic

Activity Center: United Kingdom

The British channels do not spare criticism from Israel, but take a relatively balanced approach. For example, the BBC exposed the looting carried out by Hamas terrorists in humanitarian aid trucks in Rafah. However, some BBC correspondents were questioned by the network after expressing support for the Hamas massacre. One Sky News correspondent, headquartered in Abu Dhabi, embarrassed senior Hamas official Khaled Mashaal by confronting him with the atrocities of October 7.

Hamas Propaganda

Center of Activity: Gaza

For more than a decade, Hamas has been establishing more and more propaganda channels. In recent years, the Telegram scene has flourished, where official channels of terrorist organizations and unofficial channels operate. These media outlets include Al-Aqsa, Al Risallah, Gaza Now and others.

American Al Hurra Network

Center of Activity: USA

A media outlet established against the backdrop of the war in Iraq in the early 2000s that disseminates the messages of US policy.

SANA Network

Center of Activity: Syria

Syrian Government News Agency. A propaganda mouthpiece for the Assad regime, which usually publishes military announcements. Along with Syrian television, SANA reports on attacks attributed to Israel against military targets in Syria, but sometimes deliberately ignores them.

RT in Arabic

Center of Activity: Russia

A propaganda mouthpiece of the Putin regime. Hostile to Israel and sympathetic to Hamas. However, the channel broadcast interviews with senior members of the terrorist organization who embarrassed him, proving that he uses the population as human shields.
