The study aims at identifying the nature of the Palestinian press discourse, defining its attributes, actors, reference frameworks and arguments. It also tries to find out the similarities and differences between the two selected newspapers in this study, Al-Hayat Al-Jadida (The New Life) and Palestine.

This descriptive study uses several methods including discourse analysis, comparative interrelationship as well as the use of frame analysis theory. Data collection involves using discourse analysis and content analysis tools. The researchers choose samples from Al-Hayat Al-Jadida and Palestine, and their issues are collected in systematic random sampling according to the artificial week approach over a year started from 1/1/2012 to 31/12/2012.

The study concludes that the thesis of "Prisons' Hunger Strike" in Al-Hayat Al-Jadida and "The Torture of Israeli Occupation against Prisoners", in Palestine have received the highest percentage of discussion among other theses that tackled civil and political human rights issues. There is a convergence between the study papers in the use of arguments. Discourse producers in Palestine newspaper depended on "Legal Reference" and "Historical Reference" as the most prominent references.
