Damascus, Syria - Malek Mawlawi, the Chairman of the Board of the Al-Alama Faisal Mawlawi Foundation and a parliamentary election candidate from Tripoli, Lebanon, met with Dr. Ahmed Zaidan, the Syrian Presidential Advisor for Media Affairs, in Damascus yesterday. Their extensive discussion covered critical regional developments, the importance of fostering dialogue among all segments of the Syrian population, and the need for restoring security across Syria's territory.
During their meeting, Mawlawi expressed strong admiration for the efforts of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and the Syrian government's initiatives to attract investments, stimulate the country's economic engine, and strengthen strategic partnerships with friendly nations. Mawlawi emphasized how these efforts are pivotal to revitalizing Syria’s economy and ensuring its long-term growth.
Dr. Zaidan, in turn, underscored the significance of enhancing relations between Lebanon and Syria, advocating for a bond built on mutual respect and common interests. He stressed the importance of fostering bilateral cooperation in order to benefit both countries' political, economic, and social stability.
A Vision for Shaping Global Narratives
Malek Mawlawi, known for his keen insights into media and political affairs, also used the meeting to address broader regional issues, particularly the ongoing Palestinian cause and the influence of Israeli narratives in the Arab world. Mawlawi called for a concerted effort to dismantle the misleading Israeli narrative that dominates both the Arab world and the international community.
"We need to break the misleading Israeli narrative in the Arab world and globally," Mawlawi said during the conversation. He emphasized the importance of spreading the discourse of the Palestinian cause while simultaneously addressing Western public opinion in its own languages.
Mawlawi further outlined the necessity of creating platforms in multiple languages, specifically tailored to engage Western audiences and expose the scandals of the Israeli regime. He stressed the need to highlight powerful human stories—stories that can resonate with global audiences—and distribute them across media platforms in multiple languages. His vision aims to expose biased media outlets that echo the Israeli alliance's perspectives and shed light on the Palestinian struggle.
"To expose the Israeli enemy's scandals, we must also challenge some of the media outlets that speak with the voice of the Israeli alliance," Mawlawi added, reinforcing the need for a multi-pronged media approach.
