Israel’s newsrooms, compared.

baba News is an independent aggregator that reads 40+ Israeli newsrooms in Hebrew, Arabic, Russian, and English — plus i24NEWS in French — then clusters reports about the same event so you can see who covered it, who did not, and how the headlines differ. It is not a newsroom and does no original reporting. Every story is summarized by baba and links back to the original article.

Free covers the live wire, Not Everywhere, Discover, the in-app brief, the Hebrew edition, newsroom profiles and threads, saved stories synced to the web, YouTube clips and official photos on each story, a week of search, five follows, five Duki questions a day in the app or signed in on the web, and alerts for breaking news, the three daily editions, a story everyone is covering, Not Everywhere, the newsrooms you follow, what happened over Shabbat, and coverage shifts, plus the weekly and breaking emails, no account required to read the wire. The Mamad siren forecast is free on the web at news.itsbaba.com/mamad. News Plus adds unlimited follows, alerts for the topics, people and stories you follow, hide-read stories, the daily brief by email, headline framing, filing order, every newsroom clip from Instagram, TikTok, X and Telegram, every newsroom photo, the full archive, and your reading diet, plus unlimited Duki questions, what changed in a story since you read it, The Desk, an hourly spoken bulletin, and on the web the Live Terminal.

More than forty Israeli newsrooms across five groups of the press (left, center, right, Haredi, and Arab), plus the Russian-language, business, and sports press and official statements from the IDF, Home Front Command, and government ministries. Ynet, Haaretz, Kan, N12, Channel 13, Israel Hayom, Maariv, Globes, Calcalist, Arutz Sheva, Srugim, Kikar HaShabbat, Behadrei Haredim, Arab48, Panet, Vesty, NEWSru, and more. The full list is on the sources page.

Yes. baba writes a short English summary and key points from the source, labeled as ours. We do not reproduce publisher article text, and we do not republish source photos. Illustrations are marked as generated. Every story links to the newsroom’s own article, with their advertising and paywall intact.

It shows it. Each newsroom has a hand-assigned lean (left, center, right, or unrated) and a press group (left, center, right, Haredi, or Arab, with the Russian-language, business, and sports outlets and official statements listed outside the groups). Coverage is grouped so you can see what one side ran and another left out. Lean is baba’s editorial judgment, explained on the methodology page.

The website is the live front page, desks, story pages, Hebrew edition, daily brief, Discover, terminal, and archive. The iPhone and Android app add the live Wire with filters, follows, alerts, offline reading of saved stories, and the same account as the web. One News Plus subscription covers web, iPhone, and Android.

Duki answers questions from the coverage itself, with every claim cited back to a story. Free readers get five Duki questions a day in the app or signed in on the web, and two a day signed out. News Plus removes the limit.
