• Frequent use of critical framing and quotes from opponents (e.g., 'مجرم حرب', 'دمية', 'يوبخ')
• Emphasis on Israeli internal dissent and political threats to Netanyahu
• Highlighting Israeli military failures and international criticism
• Neutral-to-negative reporting on Israeli strikes and occupation policies

The outlet often quotes Israeli officials directly, giving them a platform, but the surrounding framing and selection of critical voices (opposition, foreign officials, reports of failures) skews negative. Some headlines are factual, but the overall pattern leans skeptical/critical toward the Israeli government and Netanyahu specifically.

• Frequent use of 'Trump claims' and 'Trump says' with distancing verbs
• Headlines highlight setbacks, contradictions, and challenges to Trump's authority
• Arabic headlines emphasize 'setback' and 'defiance' toward Trump's policies
• Selection includes negative outcomes (crashes, AI restrictions, political opposition)

The entity is the US, but coverage focuses overwhelmingly on Trump as its representative. The outlet often quotes Trump's own statements (e.g., 'great settlement') without overt editorializing, but the framing of setbacks and opposition (Senate vote, Republican dissent, criticism of his claims) tilts toward skepticism. Some headlines are neutral factual reports (e.g., B-52 crash, SBF appeal), which lowers confidence. The outlet's stance is toward the US government/Trump, not toward the US as a whole.

• Uses neutral verbs like 'announces', 'wins', 'quits' without evaluative adjectives
• Frames political events as process (succession, pressure, resignation) rather than moral judgment
• Mixes domestic political coverage with international and legal items, no consistent angle on GB
• Quotes or paraphrases actors (Starmer, Burnham, Amnesty) without endorsing or condemning them

The bundle covers GB as a state/actor across many topics (politics, courts, foreign policy). No headline uses hostile or celebratory language toward GB itself. Some items (e.g., #10, #17) report criticism of UK policies or courts, but the outlet's own voice remains neutral. The entity is diffuse (country, government, PM), so stance is best assessed as neutral overall.

• Frames Israeli attacks as aggression against Lebanon, not just Hezbollah
• Amplifies Hezbollah's military successes and statements without distancing
• Highlights Israeli failures and casualties, e.g., 'confesses failure to intercept drones'
• Uses Lebanese officials' calls to end 'Israeli assaults' as authoritative

The outlet is favorable to Lebanon as a state and to Hezbollah as a resistance actor, but it also reports Israeli perspectives and some critical analysis (e.g., disarmament debate). The entity is the country, not a single actor; stance reflects sympathy toward Lebanon's position against Israeli strikes.

• Uses Arabic headlines with negative framing verbs like 'يتباهى' (boasts), 'يتوعد' (threatens), 'غدر' (treachery)
• Highlights external criticism and humiliation of Netanyahu (Trump's rebuke, Israeli security dissatisfaction, Olmert's attack)
• Quotes Netanyahu's statements but often contextualizes them with opposition or failure narratives
• Emphasizes Netanyahu's isolation and strategic losses (Iran deal, US pressure, domestic rivals)

Some headlines are neutral factual reports of Netanyahu's statements (e.g., 8, 10, 13), and the outlet does not use consistently hostile language like 'regime' or 'dictator'. The negative stance is conveyed through selection and framing (highlighting criticism, humiliation, and setbacks) rather than direct editorial condemnation. The entity's own aggressive rhetoric toward others is reported without endorsement, but the outlet's focus on his failures and external rebukes tilts the stance skeptical.

• Uses neutral verbs like 'says', 'announces', 'lands' for Iran's actions
• Quotes Iranian officials (Khamenei, Qalibaf, Araghchi) without distancing markers
• Reports both Iranian and US/Israeli actions without overt evaluative language
• Occasional sympathetic framing of Iran's internal narratives (e.g., 'hydra' metaphor, 'protect our land')

Coverage is largely factual and balanced, but some headlines (e.g., #4, #5) adopt Iran's own framing or praise its resilience, suggesting mild sympathy. However, the outlet also reports US/Israeli strikes and Iran's retaliatory actions neutrally, and includes headlines critical of Iran's internal debates (#21). The entity's quoted content is often assertive or defensive, but the outlet itself does not consistently endorse or condemn Iran.

• Frames Trump as a unilateral actor facing institutional pushback (Congress, courts, Senate)
• Uses verbs like 'justifies', 'blames', 'threatens' that imply defensive or aggressive posturing
• Highlights contradictions and failures (deal signing contradicted, name removed from Kennedy Center)
• Arabic headlines employ rhetorical framing ('كبح جماح' = reining in, 'أسوأ اتصال' = worst call) that cast Trump negatively

Several headlines are neutral factual reports of Trump's actions (e.g., nominations, strikes, tariffs). The negative stance is most evident in headlines that foreground institutional resistance, contradictions, and Arabic-language editorializing. The outlet does not consistently demonize Trump; it often reports his statements without overt commentary, but the selection and framing tilt toward skepticism.

• Frames Putin's actions as reactive or defensive (rejecting, admitting, expecting) rather than proactive
• Highlights Russian vulnerabilities: economic strain, fuel shortages, army standstill, nuclear threats as 'last argument'
• Uses Arabic headlines with critical verbs like 'يرفض' (rejects) and 'يتوعد' (threatens) to depict Putin as obstructionist
• Balances with neutral reporting of Putin's statements but often pairs them with counterpoints from Ukraine or Europe

Some headlines (1, 2, 5, 12) neutrally report Putin's positions, and the outlet does not use overtly hostile language like 'dictator' or 'regime'. However, the selection emphasizes Putin's refusals, admissions of damage, and nuclear brinkmanship, which collectively cast him as a problematic actor. The entity's own hostile statements toward Ukraine are reported without endorsement, but the outlet's framing of Russia's strategic weakness and European support for Zelenskyy tilts the stance negative.

• Highlights Putin's vulnerabilities (economy, fuel shortages, military standstill)
• Uses distancing and critical verbs ('admits', 'rejects', 'threatens')
• Foregrounds Western/Ukrainian initiatives and Putin's refusal as obstruction
• Includes critical voices (soldier threatening Putin, European support for Zelenskyy)

Coverage is largely factual but selection emphasizes Putin's difficulties and intransigence; some headlines are neutral reports of his statements. The outlet does not use overtly hostile language but consistently frames Putin as under pressure and rejecting peace efforts, yielding a mildly negative stance.
