AMMAN
– HE Dr. Talal Abu-Ghazaleh, founder and chairman of Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Global
(TAG.Global), has patronized the Arab Women Media Day, organized by Talal
Abu-Ghazaleh Knowledge Forum (TAG-KF), a member of TAG.Global, in cooperation
with the Arab Women Media Center.

During
the ceremony, Dr. Abu-Ghazaleh called on all media professionals and
representatives to fulfill their historical responsibilities in light of the
critical period Palestine is experiencing today, mainly by documenting the
historic victory achieved on October 7; which successfully confirmed the
fragility of the brutal occupation in the face of the Palestinian defenders of
their rights. He continued by stressing that what happened is a legendary
victory that media representatives should document to reveal the extent of the
failure incurred by the ruthless enemy forces in the ‘ground operations’
launched on the Gaza Strip.

Dr.
Abu-Ghazaleh commended the steadfastness of the Palestinian people on their
land, urging all those involved in the media to focus on and narrate the
stories of these people’s power, pride, and determination in confronting the
occupation and their resilience on their land against all the brutal inhuman
massacres.

In
addition, Dr. Abu-Ghazaleh referred to the Zionist enemy genocide and the
demolishing of buildings in the besieged Gaza Strip, describing such atrocities
as  proof of their defeat at the hands of the Palestinian people and
resistance, who triumphed in an unparalleled manner. He further reaffirmed his
belief that the International Court of Justice would issue a verdict condemning
the occupation and its genocide.

Dr.
Abu-Ghazaleh also pointed to the importance of highlighting the greatness of
the Palestinian people everywhere and teaching their victories at schools and
universities, stressing that communication and education are keys to victory,
indicating the significance of focusing on education as the most powerful
weapon to liberate homelands, in parallel with the legendary Palestinian
resistance in defending their homeland. 

 “The history of the Palestinian people is
inscribed with determination and solid spirit rather than numbers,” Dr.
Abu-Ghazaleh said, adding “The spirit doesn’t get old, we remain young with
great hearts, and I live these years as a young man in an old body.”

For
her part, journalist Ms. Mahasen Al-Imam, founder and chairman of the Arab
Women Media Center, stated that the Arab Women Media Day this year is special,
and therefore the Center decided to honor media women representatives as the
‘Knights of Truth’, due to their heroic resistance against the occupation with
their professionalism and patriotism while covering events in Palestine and Jordan
after October 7.  

At
the end of the ceremony, a group of journalists involved in covering the war on
Gaza were honored, in the presence of a number of journalists from the Occupied
Palestinian territories, a journalist from the Gaza Strip and a journalist from
Yemen through video communication technology. That is in addition to honoring
editors-in-chief and news managers in Jordanian TV channels. 

The honorees talked about their experience in
covering and reporting events as well as the oppressive procedures and
practices imposed by the occupation to prevent them from conveying the truth,
which amounted to the assassination of more than (130) journalists, and
targeting their children and families.
