Salmawy Awarded Medal Of Honor On Behalf Of President 'Abbas At Palestinian Embassy In Cairo <\/strong><\/p>\n

As stated, Salmawy was recently awarded a medal of honor on behalf of the Palestinian president at a ceremony held at the Palestinian embassy in Cairo. The invitation to the ceremony said: „Reflecting the esteem of [Palestinian] President Mahmoud 'Abbas, may Allah preserve him, for the great writer and journalist Mohamed Salmawy, the embassy of the Palestinian State in Egypt and the Palestinian Writers Union are honored to invite you to the celebration in honor of [Salmawy], at which he will be awarded a medal of excellence in the field of culture, art and science.”<\/a>[3]<\/a><\/p>\n

The awarding of the medal to Salmawy was widely reported in the Egyptian press. The Egyptian daily Al-Masri Al-Yawm<\/em> reported: „The president of the Palestinian state awarded the writer and media personality Mohamed Salmawy with a medal of excellence [in the field of] creation, culture, art and science. This is regarded as one of the highest Palestinian honors, awarded to great [thinkers in the domains of] philosophy, literature and culture who promote human justice and defend the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people. [Salmawy received it] in appreciation of his contribution to art and media in the Arab countries and the world and in appreciation of his role in the service of Arab causes, chiefly the Palestinian cause.” The report stated further that „the medal was awarded [to Salmawy], on Mahmoud 'Abbas’s behalf, by Palestinian Ambassador in Cairo Diab Al-Louh; Palestinian Justice Minister 'Ali Abu Diak; Arab League assistant secretary-general for Palestinian affairs Sa’id Abu 'Ali, and secretary-general of the Palestinian Writers Union, the poet Murad Al-Sudani… They noted that Salmawy’s stories document the statements of the martyrs, the [Palestinian] steadfastness, and the challenges faced by those who adhered to their land and [shed] their blood to defend their national and historic rights.”<\/a>[4]<\/a><\/p>\n

Palestinian Ambassador To Cairo: Salmawy Provided „Literary-Ideological Weapons” In Defense Of The Palestinian Struggle<\/strong><\/p>\n

Palestinian Ambassador to Cairo Diab Al-Louh said at the ceremony that „the awarding of the medal to a man of [Salmawy’s] caliber is [an expression] of Palestine’s and the Palestinian President’s loyalty to Egypt… The writer Salmawy provided literary-ideological weapons that consolidated an idea and defended the Palestinians’ liberty and struggle. The medal is [given in appreciation of] the Arab nation’s privilege and duty [to assist] Palestine, and encourages anyone who defends the justice of the Palestinian cause.”<\/a>[5]<\/a><\/p>\n

Palestinian Writers Union Secretary-General: Salmawy „Always Praised Wafa Idris,” Palestine’s First Female Suicide Bomber <\/strong><\/p>\n

The Egyptian daily Al-Yawm Al-Sabi’<\/em> reported: „The poet Murad Al-Sudani, secretary-general of the Palestinian Writers Union, who attended the ceremony, said that Mohamed Salmawy had always supported various causes related to Palestine and devoted his time and energy to it. He always praised the fighter Wafa Idris. Therefore, Palestine was duty-bound to honor him.”<\/a>[6]<\/a><\/p>\n

The Al-Masri Al-Yawm<\/em> daily reported that Mohamed Salmawy, for his part, „praised 'Abbas for supporting Arab culture, stressing that the awarding of such a national medal of honor is a serious responsibility, for it reflects a fundamental component of the consciousness of an entire generation that has exhibited considerable openness in its perception of large national causes, the most important of which is Palestine. It is a natural reflection of [this generation’s] creation and struggle, in literature and in the media, aimed at upholding the justness of Palestinian liberty… [Salmawy] stated that his various roles have required him to represent Palestine on every ideological platform and in international unions, in order to underscore the presence of the state of Palestine, which [already] exists even if it has not yet [officially] been named \u2013 for reality proves that the Palestinian people and homeland exist, as do their literature, culture and history.” <\/a>[7]<\/a><\/p>\n

Salmawy Awarded „Yasser Arafat Prize” At Initiative Of Palestinian Embassy In Senegal <\/strong><\/p>\n

In addition to the medal awarded him by 'Abbas, Salmawy was recently awarded the „Yasser Arafat Africa Prize for Freedom and Peace” in Senegal, at the initiative of the Palestinian embassy in the country. The ceremony, held in the capital Dakar, was sponsored by Senegal President Macky Sall and attended by Senegalese officials and the ambassadors of Egypt, Palestine and Kuwait, as well as by writers and media representatives.<\/a>[8]<\/a> The head of the prize committee said that Salmawy had been honored for „his prominent and significant literary contribution, which includes honest positions in defense of the causes and rights of the peoples that are fighting for liberty and independence, and especially for his keen interest in defending the just nature of the Palestinian cause and his involvement in the struggle of the leader Yasser Arafat.”<\/a>[9]<\/a><\/p>\n

Salmawy In Series Of Articles: The Jewish Lobby Secretly Arranged For Audrey Azoulay To Be Appointed Head Of UNESCO<\/strong><\/p>\n

This year, Salmawy again published a number of articles with an antisemitic flavor, concerning the appointment of former French culture minister Audrey Azoulay, who is Jewish, as director-general of UNESCO. In July, several months before her appointment, he published articles against her candidacy, claiming that she had been put forward as a candidate by former French president Francois Hollande in order to keep an Arab from being appointed. He noted that she is the daughter of Andre Azoulay, a senior advisor to King Mohammed VI of Morocco, „who belongs to a large Jewish family with ties to Jewish pressure groups in France, chiefly CRIF, the umbrella organization of the Jewish bodies in France.” Salmawy also mentioned that he had fought against Azoulay’s appointment as UNESCO head by presenting the French ambassador in Egypt with a petition signed by dozens of Arab intellectuals, artists and former ministers urging French President Macron to remove her as a candidate.<\/p>\n

In October, following her appointment, Salmawy published articles claiming that the „Jewish lobby” had acted behind the scenes and exerted extensive pressure to arrange it, so as to prevent an Arab from being chosen. He added that CRIF had promised Macron before his election as president that it would support his candidacy if Macron, for his part, supported Azoulay’s candidacy for directorship of UNESCO. According to Salmawy, CRIF also asked Macron to pledge that France would act to end UNESCO’s anti-Israel bias.<\/p>\n

Salmawy wrote further that „it is no secret that the Jewish lobby placed all its clout behind the candidacy of the French candidate [Azoulay], although we could find no public expression of this.” Pressures by Jewish elements, he said, were also behind the decision of the U.S. and Israel to announce their withdrawal from UNESCO right before the election for its new director, in a bid to affect the result and secure a win for Azoulay.<\/a>[11]<\/a><\/p>\n
