The study sought to reveal the extent to which Egyptian and Saudi university students rely on influencer content on social media platforms and the relationship between this and their perceived credibility. It also sought to identify the motives and behaviors behind the respondents' use of influencer content on social media platforms. It also explored the most significant effects (cognitive, affective, and behavioral) resulting from the respondents' following of influencer content on social media platforms. The study relied on a descriptive approach using a questionnaire, applied to a sample of 450 people. The study also relied on the media dependency approach and the source credibility model within its theoretical framework. The study results confirmed: (1) The existence of a statistically significant positive correlation between the degree to which Egyptian and Saudi university students rely on social media platforms to follow influencer content and their level of credibility of that content. (2) The existence of a statistically significant relationship between the cognitive, affective, and behavioral effects resulting from Egyptian and Saudi university students' reliance on social media platforms to follow influencer content and their level of credibility of that content. 3) There is a statistically significant relationship between the dimensions of credibility (attractiveness, expertise, and trustworthiness) in influencers' content on social media platforms and the level of credibility of that content.

The study aims to monitor the rhetorical strategies in the Arab and Western media discourse regarding the recent Gaza war, considering that rhetorical strategies are among the most important features of global media discourse to achieve specific goals and numerous effects, by formulating the media message in ways and forms that enable the writer to convince the reader of an idea or point of view, based on the arguments and evidence that support it, especially with the development of means of communication and reaching the masses regardless of their times, places, languages, and cultures. The descriptive causal study relied on an integrative approach to discourse analysis, which included analyzing the discourse as a social practice, analyzing rhetorical arguments, and analyzing the framework, as 30 articles were analyzed on the Youm7 and Washington Post websites. The study monitored the explicit employment of several rhetorical strategies in Youm7, which expresses the Egyptian Arab point of view, and the Washington Post website, which expresses the Western, American, and European point of view. It became clear that Youm7 relied on the offensive strategy from the first moment, considering what happened on October 7, 2023, as heroism, steadfastness, honor, and a victory for the suffering of the Palestinians. It also adopted a strategy of accusing the other party, by placing responsibility on Israel is always the cause of crises and wars due to the criminal acts it commits against the Palestinians, while the Western discourse relied on a strategy of defending Israeli narratives and supporting its point of view. It also relied on a strategy of accusing the Palestinians of terrorism and demagoguery, and that they are a source of constant suffering and concern for Israel, which has the right to defend itself and protect its citizens from attacks by Palestinians, especially armed Palestinian factions. The study also monitored the use of arguments and evidence according to the opposing ideologies of the two sides, relying on historical, cultural, religious and social evidence, which came in favor of the Palestinian side, in contrast to the weakness of Western arguments and their attempt to neutralize the evidence and arguments of the Arab discourse.
