The Israel-Palestine conflict, enduring for more than a century, is deeply intertwined with political communication and violence, which serve as both drivers and consequences of the ongoing struggle. This paper delves into the competing narratives, media strategies, and forms of violence used by both Israeli and Palestinian actors, particularly during the recent escalation beginning in October 2023. Through the lens of comparative politics, this study examines how both sides utilize propaganda and violence to shape domestic and international opinions while perpetuating cycles of hostility and repression. Furthermore, the study proposes recommendations aimed at addressing these dynamics and offers potential pathways for conflict resolution. This paper emphasizes the importance of understanding the role of media, propaganda, and violence in shaping the future trajectory of this conflict and the prospects for peace.
