To be published by *Cambridge University Press *

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is not only the world's oldest conflict 
but also the most controversial and the most misunderstood. No other 
conflict has generated the most news headlines or stirred up so much 
intense passion and debates in world parliaments, disagreements on 
campuses, or arguments in international organisations (Waxman, 2019). 
Symbolic and ideological constructions of the Israeli-Palestinian 
conflict represent a variety of perspectives as well as diverse 
interpretations and representations of the conflict across different 
media, law reports, policy statements, religious journals, etc. These 
varied and often contested perspectives enable us gain a comprehensive 
understanding of the conflict – about human struggles and resistance to 
forces that threaten their existence.

The editors of this oncoming collection seek thoroughly researched 
academic studies that will not only contribute to new knowledge through 
in-depth analyses of the constructions of the Israeli-Palestinian 
conflict but also highlight how public opinion, perceptions, attitudes, 
and responses to the conflict might have been influenced or manipulated 
by these ideological constructions.

We therefore invite researchers, scholars, and professionals in conflict 
and peace studies, linguistics, journalism, media studies, discourse 
analysis, semiotics, and political science to submit chapters, which 
will highlight  interdisciplinary approaches to *Discourse Analysis* to 
studying discursive constructions of:

·media reports

·online reports/campaigns

·law reports

·religious documents

·political discourses

·policy statements etc. that
