GAZA, August 13, 2005 (WAFA-PLO news agency)- President Mahmoud Abbas stressed Saturday the importance of the role media plays during the expected Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip and the north of the West Bank.
President Abbas said, in speech during an opening ceremony of the Media Bureau of the Withdrawal Campaign, that the campaign would start today and would continue until the end of the occupation.
He stressed there would be facilities for journalists, pointing out that there would be high ranking official and Ministers to meet the needs of journalists.
President Abbas expressed his hope that this stage would end, because Gaza is the first step that would be followed by Jenin and the rest of the occupied territories to establish the independent Palestinian State.
The ceremony was attended by Deputy Premiere and Minister of Information, Dr. Nabil Shaath, and Minster of Civil Affairs and the Head of the withdrawal file Mohammed Dahlan, as well as a number of journalists.
