In response to the continued Israeli violations of the Paris Protocols and different trade agreements with the Palestinian Authority, PITA, and in cooperation with the Palestinian Trade Center (Paltrade), The Palestine Telecommunications Company (PALTEL) and the Palestinian Cellular Communications Company (Jawwal), has begun implementing a mass media and public relation campaign.  These campaigns will be aimed at exposing the Israeli violations of trade agreements, especially those pertaining to restraining IT and telecom equipment at entry ports for no legal reasons, and, consequently, releasing hi-tech equipment essential for the sector development and which has been under seizure for more than a year.   It should be noted that the IT/telecom sector development is being hindered as Palestinian companies have been unable to release imported materials from Israeli ports for more than a year despite all their efforts.

The planned campaign will be conducted in a collective approach in the form of press releases, press conferences, direct mail and lobbying with international bodies and foreign government representatives, especially those related to the IT and telecommunications sectors.
