Frameworks of Media Treatment on Israeli Electronic News Sites Regarding Operation (Al-Aqsa Flood)“ The Website of the Israeli Arabic-Language Channel I24 as a Model”

Abstract

The research addressed the problem of the media frameworks used to address the Al-Aqsa Flood operation and its repercussions on the news website of the Arabic-speaking Israeli i24 channel. The research sought to clarify the main frameworks for the treatment and their topics, the approved news sources, and the media arts and multimedia used in the treatment, relying on the descriptive analytical approach through the content analysis method. Which included an analysis of (150) articles published on the aforementioned website during the study period, which extended for a full month starting from 10/7/2023 AD, i.e. the start of the Al-Aqsa Flood operation, until 11/7/2023 AD.The research reached a number of conclusions, the most prominent of which is that: There is a disparity between the rates of interest in the media treatment frameworks for the Al-Aqsa Flood operation, as the i24 website’s attention was largely focused on the military framework, showcasing the strength of the Israeli army in its military operations, followed by the political framework, while the humanitarian and economic frameworks occupied the ranks. It was less concerned and was more related to the Israeli side, and there is a clear-cut media bias in the media treatment in favor of one party over the other.
