Jenin official repeats the debunked conspiracy theory that says Israel killed Arafat
Jenin District Popular Refugee Committee Deputy Chairman Fida Turkeman: “We came here today to mark the 16th anniversary of the death as a Martyr of Palestinian President Yasser Arafat, and to mark the [Palestinian] declaration of independence (see note below –Ed.) [that was issued] in [our] sister [state] Algeria. From here we hold the occupation state (i.e., Israel) fully responsible for the death as a Martyr of Palestinian President Yasser Arafat (sic., the PA libel that Israel assassinated Arafat has been debunked by international medical teams).”
