  "account": "Qatar's media corporation, QMC, represented the State of Qatar at the 56th regular session of the Council of Arab Information Ministers held in Cairo. The delegation was led by Abdullah Ghanem Al Binali Al Muhannadi, the Director of International Cooperation and Agreements Office at QMC.\n\nThe session addressed key issues, including draft resolutions on joint Arab information cooperation, developments in the Palestinian cause, and strategies to bolster the Palestinian narrative in Arab and international media. QMC had previously proposed hosting the Council's Executive Bureau meeting in Doha in 2027 and launching the \"Doha, Arab Media Capital\" initiative.\n\nAhead of the session, QMC participated in a consultative meeting where the proposal for hosting the Council's Executive Bureau meeting was made. During the session, the Council reaffirmed Palestine's central role as the Arab cause and reiterated support for the Palestinian people's right to self-determination and an independent state. The Council also stressed the protection of Palestinian journalists, safety, and support for information institutions.\n\nThe Council called for international efforts to hold accountable those responsible for crimes against journalists and ensure they do not enjoy impunity. It urged Arab and international institutions to document Israeli violations and crimes against Palestinian journalists, and intensify solidarity campaigns to ensure accountability.\n\nArab information outlets were commended for their coverage of the occupied Palestinian territories and the Palestinian people's suffering. The Council emphasized the need for stronger Arab information action to support Palestinian efforts in international forums, counter disinformation, and preserve Jerusalem's historical and legal status.",
