More than 150 Christian journalists and opinion leaders arrived in Jerusalem for the opening event of the Christian Media Summit at the Friends of Zion Museum. Their presence during a sensitive moment underscores the importance that Christian media outlets place on direct reporting from Israel and on meeting key public diplomacy bodies in Jerusalem.<\/p>\n
During the event, representatives of the hosting institutions welcomed the participants. Daniel Vaitcik, CEO of the Friends of Zion Museum, thanked the journalists for coming:
“These days it is especially important to come to Israel, to learn the facts first-hand, and to see that we have been under a media attack for more than two years. The eighth front of our struggle is the front of public diplomacy, and unlike the other fronts, here we need a great deal of help. You came to see and to tell what you see, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for leaving everything and coming to Israel. Many experiences await you, and I hope you will be reliable ambassadors and spread the truth everywhere you go.”<\/p>\n
In the coming days, the summit will include tours in the north, south and Samaria, alongside a meeting with the Mayor of Jerusalem and current-affairs panels. The annual event brings together Christian media leaders from around the world to strengthen ties and enable direct reporting from Jerusalem.<\/p>\n
The event was organized by the Government Press Office, Friends of Zion Museum and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
