The forum also addressed Israel’s violation of international law, its lack of regard for civilians, and its bombing of health facilities in a clear war of annihilation taking place before the eyes of the international community. The forum addressed the important role of the Egyptian media in providing a large space for voices expressing the truth about what is happening in Gaza in particular and Palestine in general, and recorded the truth of what is happening with our Palestinian brothers, at a time when the Western media sided with the Israeli narrative without taking into account the simplest journalistic and media norms.
