Neutral summary

from 5 outlets' reporting

A UN-mandated Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory said Israeli authorities and forces committed crimes against humanity, including extermination, torture, rape and other sexual violence, in the occupied West Bank, and concluded that Israeli military operations and settler violence amount to a widespread and systematic attack on civilians since 7 October 2023. The report, submitted to the UN General Assembly ahead of Israel's general election, said 1,080 Palestinians were killed by Israeli forces in the West Bank from October 2023 to September 2026, and that over 34,000 were displaced as of August. It also said Israel continues genocidal acts in Gaza despite the October 2025 ceasefire. Israel's Geneva mission rejected the report as a misinformation campaign and called for the commission's dissolution. The UN human rights commissioner, Volker Turk, separately condemned Israel's Hebron lockdown, citing concerns of ethnic cleansing.

Where accounts differ. Death tolls differ: Al Jazeera English cites UN OCHA figures of 1,143 killed in the West Bank including East Jerusalem, while Amar Desh and Desh TV cite 1,080, and Al Jazeera Arabic cites 254 killed since October 2023; Haaretz alone reports the commission's claim that deaths reached about 500 a year in 2024 and 2025, and Israel's rejection is reported by Al Jazeera, Al Jazeera Arabic and Haaretz only.

About this method

Method. Bias types follow the Table of Media Bias Elements and the Media Bias Taxonomy (both CC BY 4.0). The impartiality rules follow the BBC Editorial Guidelines and the Ofcom Broadcasting Code. The score is calculated from the seven answers, never generated.

What this is not. No outlet gets a standing bias rating, and there is no left/right axis, because that axis does not describe Bangladeshi politics. Each analysis covers one article about one event. Members' analytics count how each outlet's headlines were labelled over a chosen period, with the number of headlines behind every share, and also show the average score of an outlet's scored articles: that average describes those articles (mostly each story's lead), not the outlet, and outlets are never ranked by it or by any share.

Known limits. Headlines are grouped into stories automatically, so an unrelated headline sometimes slips in; it is shown faded rather than hidden. Where outlets carry the same wire copy, the comparison has little to show. Human annotators agree on bias in Bangla news only moderately (κ = 0.574 at best), which limits what any automated score can claim.
