Abstract

This study examines how the Israel-Palestine conflict is rendered in mainstream media. Nowadays, news discourse intensely influences the public understanding of complex conflicts. Using a systematic literature review, this study reviews literature from 2019-2024 via Google Scholar, ResearchGate, and Semantic Scholar databases. 20 selected articles were examined to see the thematic pattern and theoretical and methodological trends. Five main themes discovered were (1) using language to shape opinion, (2) media framing, (3) imbalance coverage, (4) visual framing, and (5) media bias and ideology, whereas the common method and theory applied were critical discourse analysis and Framing Theory, respectively. This study aims to intensify awareness of media framing choices in shaping public understanding of the conflict.
