Abstract
The current study is a Critical Discourse Analysis of Israeli Political Speeches after Normalization with Arab Countries which shows the mutual cooperation between Israel and Arabs to achieve normalization. The most important aims of the current study are; i) Investigating whether normalization and peace processes are presented positively or negatively in the Israeli Political Speeches after normalization. ii) Identifying the textual analysis of speeches that are used by three Israeli politicians after the period of normalization. iii) Showing the discursive practices which are used in the Israeli Political Speeches after normalization. The aims are only outcomes to the following problems; what is the most influential political speech type that is used? What is the textual analysis used in the Israeli Officials' Political Speeches after normalization? What are the discursive practices used by Israeli Politicians after normalization? Fulfilling the above aims, the study hypothesizes that Israeli politicians employ language to serve their purposes through using different strategies. Finally, Language is utilized to show Israel's hegemony and victory through Israeli politicians' speeches. The data have been selected from Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs website. Israeli Political Speeches are analyzed ideologically and linguistically according to Fairclough's three-dimensional approach (1989, 1995, and 2010). To sum up, the selected Israeli Political Speeches after normalization have less explicit negative ideologies than the ones before normalization. So, words are very important. Words are basic part of every language, without these words people could not keep in touch (Salih & Haji: 1).Whenever we talk, we carefully choices the words according to the relation with listeners, many languages have different strategies in the choice of words and expressions (Naji: 3).
