Rabat Hosts Vital Discussion on Al-Quds
On June 22, 2026, Rabat, Morocco, served as the backdrop for a significant panel discussion centered on the Palestinian narrative concerning Jerusalem, known as Al-Quds. Organized by the Bayt Mal Al-Quds Asharif Agency in collaboration with various Moroccan, Arab, and Islamic institutions, this two-day event aimed to amplify the Palestinian voice in global media. Participants and speakers underscored the urgent need to advocate for the Jerusalem cause amidst ongoing efforts by the Israeli occupation to undermine its identity and impose restrictive measures that threaten its cultural heritage.
In his opening remarks, Ambassador Ahmed Rashid Khattabi, the Arab League's Assistant Secretary-General for Media and Communication, emphasized the necessity of creating a media narrative that resonates globally. He advocated for a discourse rich in conviction, seriousness, and credibility, which should engage academic and media professionals alike. Khattabi argued that a well-crafted narrative would not only enhance global public support for the Palestinian cause but also stimulate international initiatives aimed at resolving the conflict and establishing a Palestinian state, with East Jerusalem as its capital, in accordance with international law and the Arab Peace Initiative.
Khattabi expressed gratitude to the Bayt Mal Al-Quds Asharif Agency and Moroccan institutions for initiating this critical dialogue, noting its importance in the broader context of Rabat being recognized as the Capital of Arab Media for 2026. He highlighted the inclusion of Jerusalem, with its profound spiritual and humanitarian significance, within the framework of this initiative, following a decision made by the Council of Arab Information Ministers. This strategic discussion represents a vital step towards fortifying the narrative surrounding Al-Quds and enhancing its visibility on the world stage.
