BIASES AND FRAMING IDENTIFIED

Israel's security and regional framing by the Jerusalem Post highlights the secret channel with the IRGC, economic pressure from Kushner, and Gulf frustration, with little perspective on the repercussions for Israel itself

Haaretz's critical framing sets the Oman crisis against the international condemnation of Netanyahu's rejection of the Gaza plan, suggesting a broader diplomatic isolation for Israel
