Abstract

This research aimed to understand the extent to which Palestinian youth rely on political talk shows broadcast on Palestinian satellite channels during crises, the impact and dimensions of this reliance, and their level of trust in these programs.
The study's key findings indicate that the largest proportion of Palestinian youth follow the crisis of the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip. The crisis of the forced displacement of Gaza Strip residents and the "Trump Plan" ranked second, while the crisis of the truce agreement between Hamas and the Israeli occupation came in third.
It was also found that the majority of Palestinian youth have a moderate level of trust in the political talk shows presented on Palestinian satellite channels during crises. Their responses concentrated between the fourth and seventh degrees of trust, out of a total of ten degrees.
Furthermore, the study revealed cognitive impacts resulting from Palestinian youth following these talk shows. The largest percentage of Palestinian youth discuss these crises with others, with a relative weight of 81.3%. Those who always rely on these programs to form their attitudes and beliefs about the discussed crisis had a relative weight of 80.3%.
Finally, the study validated the hypothesis that there is a statistically significant correlation between the degree of Palestinian youth's reliance on political talk shows on Palestinian satellite channels and their attitudes towards crises, their level of knowledge about these crises, and their degree of trust in the political talk shows.
