Makkah, June 10, 2024. The International Forum "Media and Palestinian Rights, focusing on practical steps to build on initiatives to recognize Palestine" reached its conclusion. The Assistant Secretariat for Corporate Communication of the Muslim World League and the Union of News Agencies of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation organized this forum. The forum issued a number of recommendations yesterday, including eleven executive initiatives to strengthen Islamic and international media support for Palestinian rights. The launch of an interactive media platform, which specializes in monitoring and documenting the commitment of international and popular movements to international resolutions on the Palestinian issue, and the publication of periodic reports on this topic are among these initiatives.
The initiatives also promote a surge in media coverage of world countries' initiatives and announcements on the recognition of the State of Palestine, highlighting these announcements in a positive light. They also issue an electronic blog related to the use of terms in media as far as the Palestinian issue and Palestinian people are concerned which defines the most fraudulently used terms and gives accurate terms to be used based on international references. Some of the recommendations were to increase the levels of cooperation and coordination between the media departments of organizations at the international and regional levels that are concerned with the Palestinian issue, including the United Nations, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, and the MWL; increasing awareness of the media in dealing with the situation of the Palestinian people.
