Arab Information Ministers: Arab Media Should Focus on Serving Palestinian
Cause
CAIRO, June 23, 2008,(WAFA)-Arab information ministers stressed that the Arab
media bodies should focus on combating terror and serving the Palestinian cause
in its broadcasting programs.
At the end of the session of the Arab League information ministers council at
the headquarters of the Cairo-based pan-Arab body, the participants called on
Arab programs to focus on celebrating selecting east Jerusalem as the capital
of Arab culture for 2009 and highlighting Israel's digging works in the
vicinity of al-Aqsa mosque, an old historic Islamic shrine in southern
Palestinian territories.
The Arab information ministers called for repairing the Palestinian radio and
TV stations shelled by Israel, underlining the Israeli occupation of the Golan
Heights and offering media support to Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Sudan and Somalia.
They also decided to form a team of experts to screen fake concepts from Arab
media and endorsed the bylaws of an Arab e-media committee. The AL general
secretariat will take all needed measures for the committee to come into force.
The Ministers also announced that the Arab States Broadcasting Union was tasked
with considering the establishment of a multilingual Arab satellite TV channel.
