This study aimed to identify the role of digital diplomacy in improving Israel's image internationally. To achieve this objective, the researcher used the inductive approach. The most important conclusion of the study is that digital diplomacy has a role to play in improving Israel's image internationally. This role can be seen when Israel has tried to restrict the Palestinian narrative by relying on the Arabic language in its media discourse. Israel has attached great importance to digital diplomacy by using technological advances and recruiting staff for digital diplomacy. Israeli discourse has focused on humanizing the occupying state and Israeli soldiers, in an attempt to remove the stereotype of the occupying entity. The people responsible for communication work in Israel's digital diplomacy channels have distinct capabilities in the diversity of languages and security experiences. Through digital diplomacy, Israel is still trying to appear as a democracy, intelligently promoting Israeli policies. And by trying to improve its relations with neighboring countries.

"This book examines how International Organisations (IOs) have struggled to adapt to the digital age, and with social media in particular. The global spread of new digital communication technologies has profoundly transformed the way organizations operate and interact with the outside world. This edited volume explores the impact of digital technologies, with a focus on social media, for one of the major actors in international affairs, namely IOs. To examine the peculiar dynamics characterizing the IO-digital nexus, the volume relies on theoretical insights drawn from the disciplines of International Relations, Diplomatic Studies, Media and Communication Studies, as well as from Organization Studies. The volume maps the evolution of IOs' 'digital universe' and examines the impact of digital technologies on issues of organizational autonomy, legitimacy and contestation. The volume's contributions combine engaging theoretical insights with newly compiled empirical material and an eclectic set of methodological approaches (multivariate regression, network analysis, content analysis, sentiment analysis), offering a highly nuanced and textured understanding of the multifaceted, complex and ever-evolving nature of the use of digital technologies by international organisations in their multilateral engagements. This book will be of much interest to students of diplomacy, media and communication studies, and international organisations"--

This article interrogates the digital storytelling of Sweden's feminist foreign policy. Drawing on scholarship on state feminism and digital diplomacy, it shows how digital platforms offer opportunities to reproduce narratives of state feminism through storytelling. We propose that digital diplomacy is used to advance feminist foreign policy through emotional sense-making that requires the telling of personal stories. The article provides a narrative analysis of the stories of women and girls that symbolise and embody feminist foreign policy, and the way in which they are communicated by the Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs. The article concludes by noting that the digital storytelling of feminist foreign policy allows the Ministry for Foreign Affairs to communicate to a wider digital audience. These stories, however, run the risk of obscuring the feminist ambitions of feminist foreign policy by insufficiently considering the gendered injustices that undergird the global gender order and by bringing together seemingly incompatible stories of feminist exceptionalism and success.

Social media are increasingly important tools in diplomacy. Diplomats are expected to use social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook and Instagram to communicate with each other and with both the domestic and international publics. This form of communication involves displaying positive emotions to generate attention in a competitive information environment. Emotions are essential to managing perceptions, conveying signals and safeguarding state reputations in traditional diplomacy. Commercial demands of online performance, however, activate new dimensions and challenges in the management of emotions in diplomacy. As digital disinformation and populist campaigns have transgressed the boundaries of domestic public debate, diplomats must also display emotional restraint to contain and counter such influence. This article analyses how diplomats perceive the demands of digital diplomacy and how emotions are engaged in their efforts to perform competently both online and offline. The study draws on fieldwork and interviews with 13 European diplomats as well as document analysis of handbooks and training material used to transfer 'emotional communication skills' to diplomats. The study findings suggest that the demands of digital diplomacy are challenging traditional enactments of 'the good diplomat'. In addition to the tensions between outreach and countering communication practices, the emotional labour in digital diplomacy extends beyond what we see on social media. Diplomats perceive the expectations of constant performance online to at times conflict with their professional role offline.
