Analyzing the Israeli Scene:

Even before the beginning of "Breaking Dawn Operation."  Israeli media volunteered to serve the military institution. Send messages to public opinion with the readiness of the occupation army. To confront the Islamic Jihad movement. During the outbreak of confrontations and launch of rockets towards Israel. It appeared that there was early political and security orientation prior to the Israeli media. To commit to media processing and circulation of official statements. Focusing on the Iron Dome Force and the failure of Islamic Jihad to launch rockets. To reassure the settlers of the Gaza envelope, with ignoring the political dimension behind the implementation and proactiveness of the operation. Israeli analyses focused on the possibility of exploiting Hamas' neutrality in a confrontation with Islamic Jihad. And the distress that the Lapid Government could take advantage of to conclude a long-term ceasefire, make progress on the prisoner deal and propose economic peace to the people of Gaza.

In light of media processing analysis for the speech of newspapers and Israeli media cites whether Center-Left party or Extremist-Right wing, and the induction of the readers' comments on the opinion materials published in the largest newspapers and news sites, I got assured that there is no difference between Center-Left party or Extremist-Right wing in exploiting Gaza for political gain. Through the analysis of the military operation's outcomes, I noticed The focus of the major Israeli newspapers affiliated with the Center-Left party, led by the two newspapers "Yediot Aharonot" and "Haaretz", that they agree in their approach to the almost unification of their media discourse. As in a report published on August 7 by " Yedioth Ahronoth" newspaper, it is titled "first only Ukraine and Taiwan, then Gaza." On the other hand, the writer Alon Binks in a commentary report published in Haartez newspaper on August 8 said: "From the world's point of view… what happens in Gaza must remain in Gaza."  

The writer focused on neglecting Gaza from arranging the international community’s agenda and global priorities, and focusing only on the war in Ukraine and the Taiwan crisis in a malicious attempt by the Israeli media affiliated with the Center-Left party, to frustrate Gaza and its people to abandon the option of resistance and acquiescence to the occupation and proceed in line with the creative policy of occupation. Under the principle of “Facilitation in exchange for calmness” and the threat that any use of the resistance or launching rockets will be confronted with tactical or short-term military operations that will cause more martyrs, demolish the infrastructure, set Gaza back years, and the Gazan economy collapses, so that the resistance acquiesces to Israeli demands for consolidation into the economic peace project. Thus, what appeared in processing for Haaretz newspaper, was vividly appeared for the Israeli public who is following the newspaper and belonging to the Center-Left party. This supports the attacks of the occupation army and support its leaders who are currently in charge. The negative comments focused on frustrating the people of Gaza and pushing them to revolt against the resistance, accusing the people of Gaza of spending most of their money on explosive pipes instead of building their homes. As well as in light of the psychological war, claiming that the resistance's rockets do not overwhelm Israel, but only leads to more bloodshed in the Gaza Strip, while some of the few positive comments were attributed to the exposing the Center-Left newspaper and its hostile attitude. As one reader wrote: Where did you get these lies from? Israel has made sure that Gaza is completely cut off from the world. Neither an airport nor a port, and the reader tried to remind the writer that the last operation on Gaza was their complete implementation. There were no terrorist acts and attacks from Gaza, and therefore they had to start bombing first and that the Israeli towns were shot to justify the state of alert that was announced in advance with their justification.

On the other hand, the Ma 'arif newspaper associated with the Centre-Left party focused on the fact that the military operation had created an opportunity with Gaza and that they did not wish to miss it. As senior Israeli officials summarized "Dawn Rising" and explained that Israel had not committed itself to the release of prisoners, and that it had created the possibility of making progress on the prisoner deal. As well as Hamas' lack of interest in escalation was an important element in decision-making, in an attempt to exploit Hamas's narrow drive and not miss that opportunity for political gain.

Moreover, the media discourse for the Extremist-right wing before, during and even after the military operation focused on Israel's deterrence force. In analyzing the media discourse, we were assured beyond doubt that the Center-Left and the Extremist-right wing were both the same. A newspaper highlighted: Israel Hume, associated with the Extremist-right, thanked Prime Minister, Yair Lapid, the opposition leader, for his support of the operation, and that the last one targeting a message-revealing to Hizb Allah. Thus, it is obvious that there neither is nor can be any difference between Center-Left party and Extremist-Right wing in military operations. In addition to the fact that media is no more than a subjection tool in the hands of Israeli governments to follow the updates. It is also considered to be the propaganda face for military institution, and the power tool for politics.
