The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

Though the situation in the region continues to escalate, the US has stood firm in its role as a mediator. Israel has every right to respond to the daily terror attacks it has seen since Oct. 7. However, it is in no one's interest for tensions to explode into a wider regional war. The US will continue to work toward regional stability.

New York Times

Pro-Israel narrative

Though Israel has consistently worked to end the conflict, US pressure to limit its military operations and goals has consistently been proven flawed. Israel has managed to decimate Hamas and Hezbollah, and it very well may need to continue fighting for a while longer. Though Netanyahu can be tough to deal with, he has crushed Israel's enemies and continues to work toward a secure Israel.

Jerusalem Post

Pro-Palestine narrative

These "cease-fire" talks are yet another ruse cooked up by the Americans to provide Israel with diplomatic cover to continue its genocide in Gaza and its destruction of Lebanon. Indeed, it is quite clear that Israel's political and military leadership have decided that a drawn-out regional war is in Israel's best interest. Israel will continue its atrocities against innocent civilians across the Middle East, all bankrolled by the US.

Middle East Eye

Narrative D

Hezbollah and Lebanon have experienced immense suffering for supporting Palestine against Israel's genocidal actions, yet the group will continue its noble fight. Hezbollah is ready and able to defend Lebanon from Israeli aggression and its attacks will end when Israel withdraws from Gaza.
