INTERNATIONAL MEDIA FRAMING OF THE PALESTINIAN-ISRAELI WAR

The Palestinian-Israeli conflict is a complex and multifaceted issue that has persisted for decades. The violent incidents that erupted on October 7, 2023, have significant global repercussions. This study analyzes the framing employed in the headlines and subheadings regarding the Palestinian-Israeli conflict during the initial five days of the outbreak, as well as how these frames relate to the editorial policies of major newspapers. The research focuses on The New York Times, The Guardian, Hürriyet, and Taz, published in the USA, England, Turkey, and Germany, respectively. The analysis revealed that Hürriyet, representing Turkey, utilized frames that reinforced neutrality in the early days of the conflict. Conversely, The New York Times, The Guardian, and Taz predominantly employed frames that favored Israel in their coverage. Overall, we found that Hürriyet and the other sample newspapers did not present the news with complete impartiality and objectivity in accordance with journalistic principles.
