The present study investigates how the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is one of the longest-running issues of mode. This study uses Teun A. van Dijk's "Us versus Them" model to examine how the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is portrayed in editorials published in national and international newspapers via the lens of critical discourse analysis. The public's image of this war, which is rooted in historical, political, and cultural issues, has been greatly shaped by media narratives. Based on a thorough analysis of the editorial content on this topic in a few national big newspapers, including Dawn and The Express Tribune, the research has attempted to highlight how language shapes power relations and social identities in any media-mediated representation. The Palestinian-Israeli struggle is one of the most extended issues of modern times, as varied and extensive as the coverage it has received from world media. Van Dijk's socio-cognitive approach shall be used in this research to probe discourse's cognitive and social dimensions.
