Abstract

The fields of textual studies and analysis of texts and discourses are based on analysis, understanding, and access to the essence and depth of the readable, audio, or visual text. As any text is considered a message and reaching its depth is an end in itself, in this research the researcher deals with one of the fields of textual studies and discourse analysis by analyzing one of the political speeches of US Vice President Joe Biden on the Middle East concerning the Palestinian conflict in 2021. In 2021, Israeli shelling has targeted again the Gaza Strip, Al-Quds Al-Sharif, Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Palestinian lands. Among the most famous reactions on this issue are the reactions of American presidents to what is happening in Gaza such as killing, destruction and sabotage. In this research, the researcher reflects the reaction of American officials towards the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in 2021 through analyzing certain speeches presented by American presidents such as that presented by the US vice president Joe Biden given to the Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu in 2021, explaining his tendencies that a cycle of violence between Israelis and Palestinians would end soon. Dell Hymes speaking model has been adopted in analyzing this speech. It evaluates the theory of the Ethnography of Communication, proving the viability of Dell Hymes proposition of the speaking model and illustrating how speaking is a useful guide to the analysis of the dimensions of communication.
