Abstract

The international community has been captivated by the intricate and protracted war in The Gaza Strip for a considerable amount of time i.e., since October 7th 2023. The complex nature and ingrained roots of the dispute persist in causing bloodshed and suffering for people affected, even in the face of numerous attempts to resolve the issue. This article's primary objective is to investigate the intricacies of the war by examining the ways in which language and narratives shape opinions and discussions regarding The Gaza Strip. The research explores how various actors, including governments, and international organizations, use language to shape and disseminate their stories through discourse analysis. Notably, the study will include speaker samples, together with a select speech by His Majesty King Abdullah II's of Jordan. By analyzing these talks, the paper aims to shed light on the power dynamics, ideologies, and ambitions driving the conflict in The Gaza Strip and highlight the difficult obstacles standing in the way of a peaceful resolution. By analyzing the diverse ways in which people employ distinct communication strategies, we can pinpoint the fundamental causes of conflict and contemplate potential avenues for peacefully resolving matters in the region.
