Arutz Sheva is a far right media outlet based in Israel that caters for national religious Israeli Jews. It is closely associated with the settlers. Its headquarters are in Beit El, an Israeli settlement in the West Bank regarded as illegal according to international law because it is built on land acquired by the State of Israel because of the Six Day War of 1967.
Arutz Sheva is often quoted by PCG and to a somewhat lesser extent by UCG, LCG and RCG. It is never criticized by the COGs. The COGs trust Arutz Sheva. They have never bothered explaining to their readers the political stance Arutz Sheva tends to take.
According to Israel Shahak and Norton Mezvinsky's book, Jewish Fundamentalism in Israel (1997, 2004), Arutz Sheva refused to broadcast women singing on their radio station for religious reasons.
Below are the tweets from the opinion account on Twitter for Arutz Sheva (@Arutz7_Opinion) that were posted during the deadly war.

Currently the blockade is still in force against Gaza even though it has failed to overthrow Hamas after all these years. The blockade clearly is not working in that purpose. But so many in Gaza continue to suffer because of the blockade.
Since the blockade has failed in its original purpose and yet it is still enforced resulting in much pain and suffering why maintain it? The blockade needs to go.
Only a political solution can end this terrible conflict that has killed so many people. May peace soon come to the Holy Land.
