The HCC is a sincere and organic reflection of Palestine’s culture and national identity as well as its invaluable contribution to humanity as a beacon of religious tolerance and brotherhood. The committee’s work and mandate have served as an inspiration throughout the region and a sign of hope that Palestine’s noble message of peace, shared values, and freedom can and must guide the region to a brighter, more peaceful and hopeful future. This is a source of enormous pride for all the members and partners of the HCC team.
