AMMAN: General Supervisor of the Palestinian Official Media, Minister Ahmad Assaf, affirmed that Palestinian media has succeeded in conveying the Palestinian people's narrative to the world, Palestine News and Info Agency (WAFA) reported.
The minister said said this is despite restrictions imposed by social media platforms and the Israeli occupation, as well as the heavy sacrifices made by Palestinian journalists.
He stressed the importance of establishing Arab digital platforms capable of conveying the Palestinian narrative in different languages.
Minister Assaf made these remarks during his intervention at the main session of the fourth edition of the Future of Media and Communication Forum, held in the Jordanian capital under the slogan "A Changing World."
He noted that Palestinian journalists have paid a heavy price while carrying out their professional duties, with more than 260 journalists killed since Oct 7, 2023, in addition to those injured and detained.
Assaf stressed the importance of strengthening Arab dialogue and consensus to establish dedicated Arab platforms capable of addressing the world in different languages.
He also suggested engagement with social media platforms to end policies that restrict and suppress Palestinian content and eliminate bias in favour of the occupation's narrative, in a manner that ensures respect for relevant international laws and resolutions.
