Israel news API
Coverage about Israel from 1209 distinct publishers, in whatever language
it was reported. Pass country=IS to filter.
What coverage of Israel looks like
Very high international coverage volume relative to the size of the domestic press, so counts for this country are dominated by outside reporting.
The media landscape
A compact domestic press in Hebrew, an English-language layer aimed outward, and a very large volume of international coverage about the country. The three answer different questions, and the international layer will dominate any query that does not constrain publisher location.
Does this cover articles published in Israel, or about it?
About it. The country filter matches the places an article is about, so a wire
piece about Israel filed from London is in scope and a Israel outlet writing
about somewhere else is not. To filter by where the publisher is based, use
publisher_country instead, and combine the two when you want domestic
reporting about the domestic market.
How do I filter news to Israel?
publisher_country is essential here. Without it you are measuring global attention rather than Israeli coverage.

What catches people out with Israel coverage?
Coverage volume for this country is dominated by international reporting to an unusual degree, so counts here measure global attention rather than the domestic press. publisher_country is not optional if the Israeli press is what you want, and the distinction changes the result set completely. The domestic technology press is substantial relative to the size of the market and covers company activity that international reporting reaches late. Hebrew-language and English-language output diverge in subject rather than duplicating each other, so querying only the English layer gives an outward-facing view rather than a smaller one. Volume also spikes around regional security events to a degree that swamps every other subject, so a monitoring query on any other topic should be scoped tightly or it will be drowned. Technology and business reporting continues through those periods but becomes very hard to surface without an explicit outlet or signal constraint.

Which outlets cover Israel most?
The most active publisher on this country is iheart.com at roughly
2% of the coverage, and the three busiest
— iheart.com, jpost.com, mignews.com — carry about 5% between them.
That share is worth reading before the volume figure: concentrated coverage
means a large result count can still be a small number of newsrooms. Combine
country with source to narrow to publishers you trust,
or with language to separate domestic reporting from international.

What this market is best for
Best for regional security and technology, with a substantial domestic technology press. Weakest when queried without constraining publisher location, at which point it measures international attention rather than Israeli reporting.
Narrowing further
Two constraints do most of the work on this axis. Adding a language separates domestic reporting from international commentary about Israel, which an unscoped country query returns together. Adding a signal range with a lower bound narrows to articles written in a particular register — supply disruption, financial stress, conflict — rather than to articles that merely mention the subject.
