The paper was based on its content analysis methodology. This study focused on the media coverage of the Palestinian satellite channels specified in the research's subject throughout 2021, from the first month of January to the last day of the last week of the previous month of December. In the most noticeable results of this study, despite the massive pain and the importance of the issue, the Palestinian visual media did not seek to equate its media coverage with the importance of this issue and the sacrifices of its children. Behind digging up the truth and facing the world with it. The Palestinian visual media was at the quantitative level, so it sought to cover various issues extensively. Still, it was qualitatively superficial, transient, traditional, lagging the language of the modern world, and from the voice and strictness of the law, fluctuating in its coverage and seasonal in its use.
