Al-Monitor
U.S.-based Middle East news site; centrist to center-left, with a regional, diplomacy-focused perspective
Al-Monitor is a Washington-based Middle East news and analysis site owned by businessman Jamal Daniel. Its orientation is centrist to center-left, with an emphasis on diplomacy and regional voices. I did not find a systematic review of its 2026 coverage, so its stance toward the Trump administration is judged from its general profile. Its Trump coverage appears to be mostly analytical and often skeptical of administration Middle East policy (for example, Iran war diplomacy), but it is not consistently partisan.
Owned byPrivately owned. It was founded by Syrian-born, Arab American businessman Jamal Daniel, and Al Monitor LLC, which Daniel controls, owns the website. It is based in Washington, D.C.
