Abstract. This study examines the framing of national issues in the Palestinian local press, within the framework of media framing theory, through four primary analytical frames: the conflict frame, the responsibility frame, the human interest frame, and the solution frame. These frames were operationalized through detailed analytical processing tables that included an exploration of the volume of proposed solutions in newspaper coverage of the four main issues: Jerusalem, land and settlement, refugees, and prisoners. The study employed the media survey approach, utilizing content analysis as its primary method. Its sample included the newspapers Filastin and Al-Hayat Al-Jadida during the years 2021–2022 and The findings revealed that the issue of Jerusalem was dominated by the sub-theme "house demolitions" at 26%. On the land issue, "settlement expansion" came first at 25.73%. For the refugee issue, the focus was on "the suffering of internal camps" at 42.11%. In the prisoners' issue, "solidarity activities" ranked first at 34.67%. The positive orientation supporting national causes dominated at 78.64%, while the news report was the most frequently used journalistic form at 62.05%, indicating the absence of interpretive and analytical treatment in favor of superficial news coverage. The findings also revealed a limited presence of the solution frame (13%), with popular solutions such as boycotts and grassroots activities ranking highest among proposed solutions at 33.4%, reflecting a weakness in presenting political, legal, and institutional solutions in journalistic discourse, And The results further showed variations in editorial priorities between the two newspapers. Filastin, published in Gaza, focused on issues of house demolitions, prisoner exchange deals, and released prisoners, while Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, published in Ramallah, emphasized issues of the separation wall, arrests, and administrative detention and child prisoners, reflecting the influence of geography and political orientation in shaping the media agenda of local newspapers. The findings also revealed that a large proportion of national issues were published in inside pages (88.76%), indicating a relative marginalization of these issues from the front pages, which enjoy higher readership priority, And In light of these findings, the study recommended strengthening the solution frame in journalistic treatment, diversifying journalistic genres by encouraging interpretive and analytical coverage, reconsidering highlighting policies and editorial prioritization, and developing visual performance through the use of objective images, maps, and infographics, while standardizing
