Walla

Walla is one of Israel's most-visited web portals, founded in 1995, with a Hebrew-language news operation covering politics, security, business, and culture. Long controlled by telecom group Bezeq, it featured centrally in the Case 4000 proceedings over allegedly favorable coverage, and has been owned by publisher Eli Azur's group since 2021. Its daily news coverage is broadly mainstream.

Is Walla left-leaning, right-leaning or centrist?

Walla is positioned toward the editorial center of Israel's media spectrum, or its orientation is mixed or not consistently classified by the major media-bias assessments. Crosswire groups Israel outlets into left, center and right so you can read the same day's events from more than one vantage point: seeing Walla beside outlets of a different orientation makes editorial choices — which stories lead, which framing is used, what gets omitted — far easier to spot than reading any single source alone.

Leanings shown on Crosswire are approximate editorial orientations drawn from widely cited media-bias assessments (such as AllSides, Ad Fontes Media and Media Bias/Fact Check) and from each outlet's reputation. They are offered to help you read the same story from different perspectives — not as definitive or exhaustive judgements. Where a confident rating was unavailable, an outlet is shown as centrist.
