In the context of the meeting, which was attended by members of the National Assembly, Muhammad Al-Amoud, and Nasser Atef, Ghaithan praised the coordination’s efforts, pointing out the systematic targeting that the governorate was subjected to, affecting sports facilities and targeting cadres in various capacities and fields.
