Type: article
Abstract: The current study aims at exploring the socio-political ideologies in the speech of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the perspective of war situation between Gaza and Israel. The study’s objectives are to highlight the socio-political ideologies of Israeli Prime Minister (henceforth PM). The findings show that the speaker has used different linguistic forms such as noun, pronouns, verb, adverbs and adjectives; rhetorical devices such as number game and hyperbole to construct the discursive strategies such as actor description, authority, burden, national self-glorification, victimization and lexicalization. PM used these linguistic forms, rhetorical devices, and discursive strategies to propagate his ideologies to represent in-group positively and out-group negatively. PM Benjamin Netanyahu made frequent use of actor description, number game, burden and authority and he also showed in-group positively to show his country position. He targeted the peace, terrorism, war negotiation & agreement and global & diplomatic position on war situation.
