In implementation of the resolution adopted by the Council of Arab Information Ministers at its 46th ordinary session, the League of Arab States commemorates Arab Media Day on 21 April of each year.
On this occasion, His Excellency Ambassador Ahmed Rashid Khattabi, Assistant Secretary-General and head of the Media and Communication Sector, affirmed that this year's Arab Media Day comes amid the continuing Israeli aggression and blockade imposed on the Gaza Strip which has left thousands dead, injured, or missing, in addition to the widespread destruction of public and private infrastructure, including health, educational, and social facilities. Such atrocities represent a blatant and grave violation of the principles of international humanitarian law, particularly those ensuring the protection of civilians, including medical personnel, rescue teams, and members of the press.
