“We met in İstanbul, on the sidelines of the TRT World Forum, with journalists reporting from Gaza — Sami Shehada, Sami Barhoom, Wael Dahdouh, Mahmoud Nizar Alsaadawi, and Mücahit Aydemir. Their efforts to convey the developments in Palestine to the international public, despite all challenges, demonstrate how vital and honourable a responsibility it is to pursue the truth. The courage and self-sacrifice of our distinguished journalists who carry out their duties under extremely harsh conditions represent the shared conscience of humanity. Their testimonies will forever hold a place in the memory of history.”
