Ghassan Ben Jeddou, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Al Mayadeen Media Network, on Wednesday, reaffirmed the Network's unwavering commitment to the Palestinian cause and the journalists' steadfastness on the path of resistance.

In today's funeral procession for martyr and colleague Farah Omar, Ben Jeddou declared that "today, we all share the Farah (Arabic word for joy) for Lebanon and the Resistance, as we remain steadfast on the path of Resistance journalism".

"I hope that martyr Farah receives an honorary doctorate from the School of Media, as she honors the nation, Lebanon, and her hometown Mashghara," Ben Jeddou added.

Ben Jeddou emphasized that residents of Mashghara have every right to take pride in Farah since she is "a symbol of Lebanon's resistance," further saying, "we will continue on this path, echoing our resolve and displaying our clear image," Ben Jeddou said.
