During the inauguration,
Shboul spoke of
His Majesty King Abdullah's firm support for the Palestinian cause, and his
directives to successive governments to support Palestinians in all situations
as a Jordanian national strategy.
The opening of the authority's new office
in Amman represents an "important and essential" achievement,
conveying “a voice of justice for the most oppressed cause in the world”, he
said.
Shboul also highlighted the role modern
media plays in informing the world about the Palestinian issue.
Affirming the government's readiness to
provide support to the Palestinian TV authority,
Shboul emphasized the
importance of the Hashemite custodianship over Jerusalem's Islamic and
Christian holy sites.
A new conduit for Palestine’s message
The authority's director, Amin Shahrour,
said the inauguration of the new headquarters in Amman “helps deliver the
message of Palestine to the entire world”.
The inauguration reflects the
"close"
Jordanian-Palestinian relations and the
"deep-rooted" partnership between the two countries' media, Shahrour
added.
The authority, he said, is also keen to
provide any needed equipment and capabilities to help Amman media crews to
carry out their tasks.
The Palestinian Public Authority for Radio
and Television has other branches in Beirut, Tunis, Cairo, and Damascus, and
dozens of correspondents around the world.
