Headline: “The [PA] minister of culture: Our struggle with the occupier is over the narrative”

“[PA] Minister of Culture Atef Abu Saif said: ‘Our struggle with the occupying entity is a struggle over the narrative. We are the legal inheritors of all that is on the land, since [the time of] our Canaanite ancestors.’ He emphasized that ‘The occupier’s narrative is false, and all of its attempts to find justification for its presence here have failed.’

Abu Saif said this while participating in a cultural conference that was held yesterday [Sept. 4, 2019] at the Jericho Municipal Library Auditorium titled The Role of the Cultural Institutions and the Intellectuals in Dealing with the Current Challenges.”
