Abstract
This paper aims to examine newspapers texts concerning UNSC Resolution 2334 as displayed in The Boston Globe and The Jerusalem Post. Through the analysis the researcher investigates how the lexical and grammatical structure of the news articles are used to portray the events and the participants using Discourse Historical approach (DHA) and transitivity which are considered major approaches of Systemic Functional Grammar. The research concludes that lexical and grammatical construction of newspaper articles is never objective and is always motivated by ideology.
