“District Governor of Jenin Talal Dweikat chaired a meeting held yesterday [Aug. 13, 2013] to discuss preparations for the district’s official reception to be held in honor of three released prisoners who are residents of the district: Yusuf Arshid, Taher Zayoud, Burhan Sbeih…
Dweikat declared that the district is planning to hold a large welcoming ceremony in honor of these three heroes… under the auspices of President Mahmoud Abbas this coming Sunday… as part of a festival, as befitting their sacrifice.”
