Aljazeera and Alarabiya are two news media outlets based in the Arab Gulf states. These two media outlets are owned by nations that do not agree on a foreign policy when it comes to Syria. As a part of their larger regional ambitions, Saudi Arabia and Qatar have influenced the Syrian conflict. While Saudis supported a regime change, Qatari foreign policy supported the Assad regime. The current study examines the framing of the Syrian conflict on the Facebook pages of Aljazeera and Alarabiya. Facebook was chosen because it have been used by groups inside and outside Syria to communicate about the conflict. A frame refers to a fundamental organizing concept that links attributes to a media event. Through framing, it is possible to select specific facets of an event and highlight them in communications, which explains how frames play an essential role in stimulating opposition to an issue or event by underscoring a specific ideology. Three frames have been employed to study visual social media and Middle Eastern conflicts: overt/covert, analytical/emotional, and human-interest or non human-interest. A content analysis was employed to gather 200 observations from the Facebook pages of Aljazeera and Alarabiya. The sample was designed to include observations that contain a visual and which include content related to the Syrian conflict. An equal number of Aljazeera and Alarabiya posts were pulled from their Facebook pages before and after the diplomatic crisis between Saudi Arabia and Qatar. Prior to the diplomatic crisis, the results demonstrate that there were statistically significant differences between the Aljazeera and Alarabiya Facebook posts when it comes to two of the three of the conflict frames: human interest (?2( df = 2) = 18.055, p< 0.001) and emotional/analytical (?2(df = 2) = 8.663, p = 0.013. After the Saudi-Qatari diplomatic crisis, there were no statistically significant differences in the frames on Aljazeera and Alarabiya’s Facebook pages. Implications of this study can add to our understanding of how the Arab media propagate foreign policy in the Middle East, particularly where visual communication is concerned.
