This article examines the coverage of issues related to Palestine-Israeli conflict by the Israeli press in 2005. Despite a year and a half of fierce opposition from the determined and media-savvy pro-settler movement and from a few influential heavies of the right-wing political establishment, Israel's three major dailies—Haaretz, Yedioth Ahronoth, and Maariv—provided almost unequivocal support for Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's plan, both in their editorials and through their coverage. They prepared the public for it and helped to insure the steady 60 percent of support it garnered. Israelis are news-obsessed. One study, from 1998, had 82 percent of the public reading a newspaper more than twice a week, 86 percent watching TV news regularly.
