Israelis are voting in a closely contested parliamentary election, the first since the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas attacks and the subsequent Gaza war. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faces a tight race against former army chief Gadi Eisenkot, with the outcome seen as a referendum on Netanyahu's leadership. Reports also said Netanyahu pressed the military for action against Iran in the run-up to the vote.

3 outlets not placed: the reading was split between distant levels.

All 12 outlets and the headlines they were read from

Each outlet is read blind: a classifier sees its headline and opening next to the story's own headline, without the outlet's name, and scores how the report presents the story. A logo sits at the classifier's average reading, so it can fall between two levels. These readings compare coverage of this story only; they are not ratings of the outlets.
