📌 الندوة ضمت نخبة من البرلمانيين والدبلوماسيين والإعلامين الدوليين الذين سلطوا الضوء جميعًا على هذه الانتهاكات مشيرين إلى أنه تتم بمباركة غربية والتي لولاها لما تمكنت السلطة من فرض شرعيتها بالقوة على الشعب، ولا ارتكاب هذه الجرائم.
📌 كما أجمع الحضور على أن قرار إغلاق قناة الجزيرة لا يصب إلا في مصلحة الاحتلال الإسرائيلي ويخدم الأجندة الصهيونية الاستعمارية التي تسعى لتهجير الشعب الفلسطيني بالكامل والقضاء على هويته.
📌 ضمت الندوة:
⭕️ مالك بن عاشور – عضو مجلس الشيوخ البلجيكي
⭕️ ريتشارد بويد باريت – عضو البرلمان الأيرلندي
⭕️ جيم موران – عضو سابق في مجلس النواب الأمريكي
⭕️ أيدان وايت – مؤسس شبكة الصحافة الأخلاقية
⭕️ بيل لو – محرر مجلة عرب دايجست
⭕️ بوكر نجيسا أومولي – ناشط سياسي كيني
