Over 500 international journalists have been briefed at the Sderot Communication Center in Sderot. Established in collaboration with the Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism Ministry, the Government Press Office, and the Sderot Municipality, the center offers insights into the Swords of Iron War and the October 7th Hamas-initiated massacre.
The facility, equipped with advanced media technology, has been a hub for interviews with affected families, government officials, and diplomats from 40 countries.
Mayor Alon Davidi emphasized in a statement the center's pivotal role in projecting the truth of the conflict, especially the atrocities committed in Sderot and the Gaza envelope by Hamas. He believes the center's efforts will shape global perceptions, countering narratives from outlets like Al Jazeera and campaigns such as BDS. The emphasis is on presenting the lived experiences of residents who have endured over 20 years of rocket terror.
Diaspora Minister Amichai Chikli stated that the Sderot communication center is crucial for revealing the October 7th Hamas atrocities in the Gaza Envelope and underscores the importance of confronting them.
