Gaza - Press House
On Tuesday, July 7, 2020, Press House – Palestine (BAS) held a symposium entitled "The role of the official institution in supporting Palestinian creativity", at Press House headquarters in Gaza Strip, in presence of a group of active and young writers in the Palestinian cultural scene.
Minister Abu Seif referring to that the role of the Ministry of Culture is to protect the identity and the national story, because "there are no limits to Palestinian culture", it unites the Palestinian people wherever they are in the world, indicated that Israel seeks to steal this culture by wearing the flight attendant of the Israeli airline "Al -all" for Palestinian costumes, as well as dabka and heritage.
He pointed out that the national liberation struggle necessarily based on a basic cultural saying "this land is for its Palestinian owners, the conflict is not on a piece of land but on a story, and that there is a thief who stole the land and wants to steal the story."
Minister Abu Seif stressed that in 2019 Ministry of Culture provided 3 million shekels as grants to various cultural institutions in Gaza, calling on cultural institutions in Gaza to apply for grants from the Culture Fund, stressing that the new cycle of the fund will be launched again next week.
In his speech, Minister Abu Seif paid tribute to writers and journalists for continuing this cultural activity and action, saying that it "reflects the great momentum that characterizes the Gaza Strip."
