Information Minister: Syria continues to support the option of resistance in the face of the Israeli occupation

Damascus, (ST) – Minister of Information, Dr. Boutros Al-Hallaq confirmed during a meeting with journalists on Wednesday at the headquarters of Al-Wahda Foundation in Damascus that the Ministry is working hard to develop the media work environment by preparing and drafting a new modern media law that keeps pace with the requirements of this work. He explained that it is being prepared with precision in a way that guarantees the rights of all workers in media institutions.

Al-Hallaq pointed out the great role played by the Syrian media in confronting media misinformation and the media war against Syria during the years of war, despite the difficulties, and it continues its work through a focused and purposeful media policy in the context of the state’s supreme national policy.

Regarding developments in the situation in the region, the Minister of Information stressed that the Israeli occupation entity and its successors, the Western countries, are trying, through the continued and open Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip, to displace the Palestinians again from their land on the path to liquidating the entire Palestinian issue.

Minister Al-Hallaq said that Syria had and continues to support the option of resistance in the face of the Israeli occupation of the occupied Arab territories, and defends the Palestinian cause and the rights of the Palestinian people in their land and the establishment of their independent state with Al-Quds (Jerusalem) as its capital. “Syria also called for an end to the war of extermination waged by the occupying entity against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip”, he added.
