RAMALLAH, December 17, 2017 (WAFA) - The Palestinian Broadcasting Corporation (PBC) Sunday launched a unified media campaign under the title, Jerusalem Unites Us, in support of Jerusalem and to protest US President Donald Trump’s recognition of the city as Israel’s capital.   

Ahmad Assaf, Chairman of PBC and WAFA News Agency, said many Arab radio stations and channels will participate in today’s Arab Media Day, under the slogan “Jerusalem Unites Us”, because Jerusalem will remain the central cause for all Arabs.

“We are sending a message today to Trump that we reject his announcement, and to Israel that Jerusalem belongs to the Palestinians and Arabs and that Palestinians aren’t alone in this battle.

Assaf addressed the targeting of Palestinian journalists by Israeli forces and the accusation of the official media of incitement. He said “PBC received daily threats, but will continue to deliver the message of Palestinians and expose the practices and violations of the ongoing occupation.” 

He added that since Trump’s Jerusalem announcement, 100 Palestinian journalists were injured during clashes that broke out with Israeli forces in an effort to suppress tens of rallies in support of Jerusalem and in rejection of Trump’s announcement.
