Often media and communication researchers and scholars narrow their study on the relationship between the revolution in communication and information technology which transformed media coverage and intervention in international conflicts. However, few of them look at foreign politics’ influence on their national media into international conflict reports. This paper aimed to seek the influence of foreign politics on international media conflict reports. Specifically, the research looks at the direct effect of international media on conflict escalation; and the indirect effect of international media on conflict escalation through the mediation of foreign policy. The evidence of the geopolitical conflict between Israel and Palestine was used in this study, and the data were collected on a sample of 251 media practitioners operating in Israel and Palestine through an online survey. The finding revealed that the relationship between international media and conflict escalation is nonsignificant; however, the study findings show that the mediator variable “foreign politics” has a positive and significant influence on international media conflict reports. Additionally, the findings revealed that online journalism was the most used; 68.5% of the study sample; Al Jazeera was the most used among the international media, 43.4% of the study sample. Thus, the study concludes that the international media online journalism conflict report is propaganda of foreign politics, and the present and future relationship between Israel and Palestine can be shaped by Al Jazeera through its online journalism.
