Abstract
The war between Gaza and Israel, which began with the slogan "Storm of al-Aqsa", attracted the attention of the whole world. This war was not a simple war, it was the war of Palestinians who have preferred death over shameful life. Different media of the world have covered this war. The importance of this research is also in the same direction that we can ask the opinion of one of the important English publications, "Economist" in this field. The Economist's analytical report in this regard, entitled: "At the moment of military might, Israel looks deeply vulnerable; America should help it find a better strategy” published on March 23, 2024, is significant in that it represents many of the unsaid about this war, which is why it is subject to discourse analysis.
The framework of the research includes the theories of attitude change and discourse, and its method is "PDAM" discourse analysis. Some of the results show that Israel is falling, the inefficiency of the Israeli regime in managing the war, the hesitation of the United States to fully support Israel, the continued dependence of Israel on the United States, and Israel's attempt to completely destroy the Palestinians and the security of the region by recognizing Palestine.
