Countries directly involved in these tensions, or whose own outlets cover them.
Israeli right-wing outlets and settlement-movement commentary frame the West Bank as biblical Judea-Samaria — historically and legally part of the Jewish national home rather than "occupied territory". Settler communities are presented as the natural population restoration; IDF operations in Jenin and Nablus are counter-terrorism against Hamas/Islamic Jihad infrastructure; settler-Palestinian friction is reduced to extremist outliers or framed as defensive against Palestinian terror. The vocabulary is "Judea and Samaria", "biblical heartland", "Jewish indigeneity", "counter-terror raid", "Hamas in the West Bank", "PA failed state", "applied sovereignty", "Levin reform", "Smotrich plan". Prescription: extend Israeli civil law over Area C, expand settlement construction, abandon the two-state framework, treat the PA as a security risk to be replaced.
Palestinian outlets, Al Jazeera, and increasingly international human rights commentary (Amnesty, HRW, B'Tselem) frame Israeli control of the West Bank as an illegal occupation now operating as an apartheid system. Settler violence is presented as systemic and state-enabled; IDF raids on Jenin and Nablus as collective punishment of Palestinian civilian populations; settlement expansion as land theft prohibited under the Fourth Geneva Convention. The vocabulary is "occupation", "apartheid", "settler-colonial", "ethnic cleansing", "illegal under international law", "settler pogrom", "annexation by stealth", "Area C land theft", "ICJ advisory opinion on occupation". Prescription: end the occupation, dismantle settlements, accountability for settler violence, recognition of Palestinian statehood within 1967 borders.
