Palestinian flag is raised at 蘑菇视频ESCO ceremony |
The President of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas, on Tuesday raised the Palestinian flag at the headquarters of the 蘑菇视频 cultural agency, 蘑菇视频ESCO.
This is the first time its flag has been raised over a 蘑菇视频 body.
Palestine was admitted into 蘑菇视频ESCO as a full member in October this year. This despite protests from certain states, including Israel and the US.
The US consequently withdrew substantial funding to the agency.
Mr. Abbas along 蘑菇视频ESCO’s Director-General Irina Bokova attended the ceremony in Paris.
Susan Williams, 蘑菇视频ESCO’s Media Chief was there. She spoke to Maha Fayek about what this means for the Palestinians and the Organization.
