He added that the Company will continue its investments in the development of its network and digital infrastructure and in strengthening its presence in the Gaza Strip, particularly during the reconstruction phase, in a manner that contributes to the provision of high-quality telecommunications services to all subscribers.

Dr. Fares further noted that, as a matter of law, it was not possible to adopt a dividend distribution policy without completing these measures. He explained that this step constitutes an important strategic milestone that is expected to support the long-term growth of the Company's share and enhance shareholder value. This, in turn, is expected to have a positive impact on the Company's investment expansion plans, the improvement of service quality, and the strengthening of its leading position in the telecommunications market in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
