The Iranian media activist said,” Shirin Abu Aqleh and Farah Omar, two Palestinian journalists, were martyred by the bullets of the soldiers of the Zionist regime” adding,” At one time, the Zionist regime could tell the Palestinian narratives of identity, land and resistance, but now, with the advent of social networks, Palestinian women can publish more and more of the realities of Palestine and their narratives for world people.”
The Iranian thinker and activist made the remarks in an address to the 16th webinar of al-Aqsa Storm held on Wednesday morning.
