, 1. Introduction
The assignment explores the complex interplay between international
communication and media coverage in the context of the most recent Israeli-
Palestinian conflict (2023- ), focusing on various themes like misinformation, framing,
and citizen journalism. This topic is crucial within the module as it connects the
theoretical understanding of global communication to real-world conflicts,
emphasizing how media and communication technologies influence public
perception, policy decisions, and the international narrative around such conflicts.
The 2023 conflict between Israel and Hamas represents a significant escalation in
the long-standing Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Triggered by multiple factors, including
political tensions, territorial disputes, and religious sensitivities, the conflict saw
intense military actions, resulting in widespread destruction and loss of life. The
conflict gained global attention, with intern ational media playing a pivotal role in
shaping narratives and public opinion. The way the conflict was communicated to the
global audience, the biases in reporting, and the role of social media in spreading
both information and misinformation are central to understanding the broader
implications of international communication during armed conflicts.
2. The Role of International Communication in War and Armed Conflicts
International communication plays a crucial role in shaping the narrative of war and
armed conflicts. It serves as the primary means through which information about the
conflict is disseminated globally, influencing public opinion, diplomatic relations, and
even the outcome of the conflict itself. The media acts as a bridge between the
battlefield and the global audience, providing real-time updates, context, and
analysis.
In war and armed conflicts, international communication can be seen as a double-
edged sword. On one hand, it can bring attention to humanitarian crises, mobilize
international aid, and put pressure on conflicting parties to cease hostilities. On the
other hand, it can be used as a tool for propaganda, spreading misinformation, and
manipulating public opinion to serve the interests of certain states or groups. The
way a conflict is reported can significantly impact the international community's
response, including diplomatic interventions, sanctions, and peacekeeping efforts.
The rise of digital media and social networks has transformed international
communication in conflicts. Traditional media outlets are no longer the sole
gatekeepers of information. Citizen journalists, social media influencers, and even
ordinary individuals can now contribute to the global discourse on conflicts, often
providing firsthand accounts and alternative perspectives. However, this
