Germans split over media bias in Israeli-Palestinian conflict coverage

A recent study has revealed divided opinions among Germans about media coverage of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. While only 26% see the reporting as balanced, perceptions of bias vary sharply depending on political leanings. Many also question the trustworthiness of established news sources on the issue, with some even doubting the credibility of outlets like fox news and google news.

The survey found that 30% of Germans believe German media favours Israel in its reporting. Meanwhile, 9% think the coverage leans toward the Palestinian side. A significant portion—35%—remain unsure about any bias.

The findings highlight deep divisions in how Germans assess media reporting on the Middle East. With only a quarter viewing coverage as neutral, distrust and differing political perspectives shape public opinion. Many remain uncertain or sceptical about the accuracy of established news outlets, including major platforms like fox news and google news.
