N2  - The journalistic investigations conducted by Al Jazeera on the Palestinian issue
sparked controversy and divided the Palestinian street into supporters and opponents
of the content of the investigations. As a result of the controversy in the Palestinian
street, the Palestinian government sent a memorandum of objection to those in charge
of Al Jazeera and threatened to close the channel’s office in Palestine if Al Jazeera did
not adhere to journalistic professional standards.
The study aimed to reveal the role of journalistic investigations in forming public
opinion opposed to the Palestinian Authority through the “What is Greater Hidden”
program broadcast on Al Jazeera News Channel. The study used a two-stage
qualitative analysis procedure with semi-structured interviews and content analysis to
answer the research questions.
The study found that Al Jazeera was able to exploit the weaknesses of the Palestinian
Authority to form an opposing public opinion by comparing the role of the Palestinian
Authority and the resistance in Gaza in protecting the Palestinian people, as well as by
focusing on the joint role of the Palestinian Authority and Israel to fight the resistance
and protect Israeli citizens. The study also found that the narrative style and various
journalistic templates employed by Aljazeera TV in its program "The Hidden is More
Immense” were a reason for increasing the credibility of the issues raised for the
Palestinian people, and thus had a significant role in forming a public opinion opposed
to the Palestinian Authority
