This research focuses on analyzing the cultural differences in journalistic ethics within the context of the Arab-Israeli conflict escalation. Positioned at the intersection of international relations and cultural communication, the study emphasizes the theoretical foundations that dictate ethical standards in international journalism. The main objective is to identify the divergences in ethical approaches between Islamic and European journalistic cultures, and to examine the correlations between these differences. The methodology incorporates cross-cultural analysis to ascertain ethical principles within these journalistic cultures, utilizing an examination of legal documents. The empirical segment involves a comparative analysis of content from European (BBC News) and Islamic (Al Jazeera) international media outlets that report on the conflict's escalation. Ultimately, the study enhances understanding of the cross-cultural dimensions of ethics in international journalism, deepening insights into how cultural nuances shape the professional practices of journalists during international conflicts.
