Abstract
The Media takes an active part in the conflict it has responsibility for the raised violence, and play
an independent role in the conflict, in order to find a solution or at least mitigate the violence Puddephatt
(2006). With regard to the media frames, each TV uses some different frames to build news based on
specific concepts related to that TV. Therefore, this study uses the case study of Israel and Palestine conflict
to examine the Ma’an news coverage of Israeli’s and Palestinian conflict, according to media framing
approach. A content analysis was conducted of news broadcasted Ma’an TV. Over the 50 days’ war, violent
clashes have erupted in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories, with youths taking to the streets to
protest against an occupation that has lasted almost half a century. Israel used excessive force in its
response toward Palestinian people, this led to many deaths among Palestinians. According to the Ma’an,
between July 7 and August 26, 2014, at least 2131 Palestinians were killed in Gaza as a result of Israel’s
“Operation Protective Edge.” Ma’an use Al Mezan Center for Human Rights, as their news source and a
total of 2168 Palestinians were killed, while the Palestinian Center for Human Rights (PCHR) put the total
number of Palestinian fatalities at 2191 (Peace 2014). Furthermore, the UN said that there were 373,000
children in Gaza strip require specialized psychosocial support. On the other hand, 71 Israelis were killed,
including four civilians, and 66 soldiers (Joronen 2016).
