Abstract

The Israel-Palestine conflict dates back a long way, and it has always been covered by the media in whatever format was available at the time. This research article analyses the framing of most recent Israel Gaza conflict, which started in October, 2023, by Fox News and TRT World news. The research uses framing theory as a theoretical model; the study tends to examine how news is delivered to us by using thematic frames and word choices with help of content analysis. The research is conducted from October 7^th, 2023 to April 30^th, 2024. By systematic sampling 140 news were randomly selected, 70 from each channel and 10 from each month. The results showed TRT News gave more pro-Palestinian agenda whereas Fox News was identified giving pro-Israeli agenda. Conflict frame was discussed highly by each channel but with different views Fox discussed conflict frame more than TRT. The human interest, risk, social, diplomatic, morality frames were discussed more by TRT than Fox mostly discussing peace for Gaza and its suffering.
