Salim Ghafouri, deputy deputy director of Sima, told Mehr reporter about Gaza news and programming in different networks in this field: We have entered into issues and priorities at different times, and in the Gaza issue, considering the terrible crime of the Zionist regime, the networks considered it their duty to Reflect what is happening.
He added: “Sima channels have entered into this discussion, the channel broadcasts a “Hour to Time Quds” program, which was a recorded program, live and several times a day in the form of “M C” on the air.
Ghafouri said about the late and serious entry into the Gaza incident: From the time this happened, Saturday 15 Mehr, the programs entered the incident in the evening. An emergency meeting was held and there was consensus with network managers and division of work was done with the description of tasks. From the evening of the same day, the programs went on the air and all the networks broadcast programs according to their approach, for example, the documentary network made programs with documentary space and other networks made programs with the desired space. Some also turned recorded programs into live ones.
Regarding sending a reporter to Gaza, he said: “Naturally, we cannot send a reporter to Gaza. The TV news department has a local reporter, but a reporter from Iran cannot go and is not allowed to enter because they have to cross the border.” Rafah that the border between Egypt and Gaza should be crossed, which naturally the Egyptian government does not allow.
Ghafouri clarified: However, there are local journalists who work with TV, Central News Unit, Al-Alam, Sed and Sima news agency, etc. Some friends have also gone to Lebanon and report from the border area between Lebanon and occupied Palestine that they are doing media work in this area and it is possible to communicate with them. They have better access to experts and analysts, and more are sent if necessary.
He asked why media teams are not sent with “press” hats and uniforms and, for example, Mohsen Maqsoodi, the host and producer of “Soraya” did not have such a cover? He said: Their car was a reporter and “press”, the local team was also with them, but Zionism has no obligation not to attack journalists. A week before this incident, a journalist was martyred in the city of Naqourah in Lebanon. They even attacked the main office of Al-Alam and repeatedly attacked journalists, and the most famous of these journalists was Shirin Abu Aqla A few years ago, he was martyred with a bullet.

After all, the filmmakers want to participate in various festivals, and after the appearances in the festivals, an understanding is made between the television and the youth cinema association and other institutions.
