Abstract

Objectives: This study aims to uncover the extent to which the Palestinian audience follows the news analyses on Al Jazeera channel and their attitudes toward them. 

Methodology: The research employed a descriptive survey method, with a sample composed of the Palestinian audience in the Gaza Strip. The study was conducted on a simple random sample of Palestinian viewers residing in the Gaza Strip who watched Al Jazeera during the 2023 Israeli war, with a total of 250 individuals, ensuring diversity in demographic variables. 

Results: The study concluded that analyst Fayez Al-Duwairi has the ability for deep analysis, although his analyses were highly exaggerated in the media. He appears to have clear political agendas and preferences, and his analyses did not reflect the political reality from the perspective of the study sample.

Conclusion: The Palestinian audience follows Fayez Al-Duwairi's analyses on Al Jazeera channel, considering them a rich source of information and specialized military analysis, particularly amid the escalating situation in the Gaza Strip. While a broad segment of the public trusts his credibility, these analyses do not always influence their political orientations due to varying affiliations-  some view him as reflecting the reality, while others perceive his analyses as exaggerations of events.
