Did Palestine National Library, Azhar Library, and the ‘National Cultural Center’ get destroyed by Israel?
No, Israel did not destroy the Palestine National Library, the Azhar Library, and the National Cultural Center. The Palestine National Library, located in the city of Ramallah, is a cultural center and library dedicated to preserving Palestinian heritage and culture. The Azhar Library is located in Cairo, Egypt and is one of the oldest and largest libraries in the Middle East, containing over 100,000 books, manuscripts and documents. The National Cultural Center, located in Gaza, is a cultural and educational center that focuses on the preservation and promotion of Palestinian culture. All three of these libraries and cultural centers are still in existence today and are actively engaging in the preservation of Palestinian heritage and culture. The Palestine National Library has over 150,000 volumes and is a major cultural center for the Palestinian people.
The Azhar Library is still open and holds many rare and valuable manuscripts and books. The National Cultural Center has a number of programs and activities, such as art exhibitions, cultural events, and educational seminars. Israel has not destroyed any of these libraries or cultural centers. In fact, Israel has provided support to the Palestine National Library and the Azhar Library. In 2010, the Israeli government donated $100,000 to the Palestine National Library, and in 2017, the Azhar Library received a donation of books from Israel. The destruction of these libraries and cultural centers would have had a severe impact on Palestinian culture and heritage. All three of these institutions are important places of learning and cultural exchange and provide a safe space for Palestinians to express themselves and their culture. Without them, the Palestinian people would have been deprived of a vital source of knowledge, education, and cultural exchange.
