With consideration of high prevention measures to prevent the outbreak of COVID19, Mr. Mohammed Al-Jeash, lawyer, and a group of media graduates and journalists (women and men) participated in the legal awareness workshop.
Mr. Mohammed Al-Jeash reviewed the rights and the commitments of journalists (women and men) and media institutions during the Palestinian public elections in addition to focusing on media coverage inside the election centers.
