Amman: Assistant Secretary-General of the National Council for Culture, Arts and Letters (NCCAL) Saad Al-Enzi affirmed on Tuesday Kuwait's firm historic position toward backing the Palestinian cause, even before the first Nakba in 1948. Delivering a speech during the Jordan-Arab Media Festival held in Amman, Al-Enzi said all historic documents and sources are clear evidence of Kuwait's support for Palestine's cause since the 1920s. According to Kuwait News Agency, since the start of Palestinian resistance to face Israeli occupation, Kuwait's official and popular stances toward backing Palestine's cause have been unchanged. Al-Enzi referred to the key role of media in support of Palestine's issue, highlighting challenges facing Palestinian journalists and media persons who sacrifice their lives for the issue. Up to 108 journalists, along with other media persons and workers, have been killed in defense of the Palestinian issue, he noted. Al-Enzi pointed out that some media institutions were not neutral, fair , or even professional in terms of covering the events and delivering a true picture of the war against Palestine, portraying the Israeli occupation as victims. He called for reviving the Arab media charter towards the first central Arab issue, the Palestinian issue, to ensure professional coverage. He also commended Jordan's role in establishing this festival for Palestine that kicked off Friday evening, emphasizing the importance of such platforms in supporting the Palestinian cause.
