The music video shot by Lebanese-Swedish singer, songwriter and music producer Maher Zain at the "Bulletproof Dreams: Gaza Child Artists Exhibition" in Istanbul was released to draw attention to the human tragedy in Gaza through the eyes of children.
In response, Presidency's Director of Communications Fahrettin Altun shared a post on his social media account, in which he thanked Zain for shooting a music video for his song "Ya Habiba Ya Falastin" at the "Bulletproof Dreams: Gaza Child Artists Exhibition."
Stating that he found the performance to be very significant, Director of Communications Altun said, "Dear Maher, it means a lot to us that you shot the music video of this lovely piece at the 'Bulletproof Dreams: Gaza Child Artists Exhibition,' which was set up by the Directorate of Communications in Istanbul, in terms of making the voice of Palestine heard more around the world. We sincerely thank you for performing your piece in our exhibition, which depicts the tragedy in Palestine through the eyes of children."
"Bulletproof Dreams: Gaza Child Artists Exhibition," which was set up by our Directorate on December 29 last year in Istanbul with the purpose of telling the human tragedy in Gaza through the eyes of children, was attended by thousands of local and foreign people and sparked a lot of interest from foreign press members.
Artist Maher Zain, who filmed a music video at the exhibition, expressed his profound admiration for the exhibition and said, "There are very beautiful pieces in the exhibition; it is really impressive. This is an exhibition that reflects what is in the minds and hearts of Palestinian and Gazan children. When we are asked to draw a picture, we pour our hearts out. These are the things that go through the minds of these children... So, this exhibition shows us how traumatised Gazan children are."
