1. Introduction – A War Seen Through Many Lenses

As the war in Gaza continues, newsrooms across the world face the same impossible question: how to portray a conflict that defies easy framing.
From casualty numbers to diplomatic debates, each broadcaster reflects the priorities, alliances, and moral compass of its society.
This article explores how television networks — from the Middle East to Africa and the Pacific — present a war that is as much about information as it is about territory.

7. Conclusion – The World Watches, and Interprets

English:
No two screens show the same Gaza.
For some, it is a war of defense; for others, a humanitarian disaster.
Yet across continents, each broadcast — whether from Ramallah, Washington, Paris, Tokyo, or Nairobi — is part of a global dialogue about truth, empathy, and accountability.
