entitled "Media and the Palestinian Right: Practical Steps to Build on
Palestine Recognition Initiatives" next Sunday, June 9, 2024.
The

Islamic and international media cooperation. Its objectives include
supporting initiatives to recognize the State of Palestine, enabling the
Palestinian people to achieve their legitimate rights, enhancing the

of peace and coexistence among different peoples and civilizations.
The
Acting Director General of the Union of OIC News Agencies, Mr. Mohammed
bin Abd Rabbo Al-Yami, explained that the forum will propose practical
steps to enhance international media cooperation on the Palestinian
issue. These steps include intensifying media coverage of declarations

and preventing war crimes and crimes against humanity.

of the Palestinian independent state and confronting adverse media
discourses that oppose the Palestinians' legitimate human rights. He
noted the importance of taking advantage of the current supportive
global situation where facts regarding the Palestinian cause have begun
to be revealed.
