Arafat lives


Abbas at Arafat Memorial: We'll Continue Martyrs' Path -Ali Waked

"The Palestinian leadership will continue to follow Yasser Arafat's path until a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital is established," PA leader Mahmoud Abbas said during a memorial service marking Arafat's death.

Abbas said, "The path of the shahids (martyrs) - Arafat, George Habash (founder of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine) and (former Hamas spiritual leader) Sheikh Ahmed Yassin - is the path that we cherish."
