This research looked at how the 2017 Jerusalem issue was covered in the media, from America's declaration of Jerusalem as Israel's capital on December 6th, 2017, through the inauguration of its embassy on May 15th, 2018. The goal of the research is to look at the scope of coverage, news frames, tone of voice, and news sources of three distinct oriented online news agencies, namely the Palestinian Wafa, Malaysian Bernama, and worldwide Reuters. We looked at 242 news stories from across the globe to see how this political-religious problem was presented. Our results indicate that the Palestinian Wafa news agency, followed by Reuters and Bernama, paid the greatest attention to the Jerusalem issue coverage. The conflict framing, on the other hand, was the most popular among the three online news outlets. In Bernama news stories, the morality framing was the most often employed. When it comes to presenting the Jerusalem problem, the tone of voice employed by internet news shows that Palestinian and Malaysian sources prefer to take a favorable stance on the Palestinian situation while being very critical of Israel and the United States. When presenting Israel's stance, Reuters websites seek a fairly balanced approach and employ a harsh tone against Palestinian and US views. Furthermore, the three web sites utilized various news sources; the politician source was the most frequently used in covering the problem.
