Ramallah governor participates in ceremony with father of terrorist shooter
“District Governor of Ramallah and El-Bireh Dr. Laila Ghannam said that loyalty passes from generation to generation and that the Martyrs (Shahids) would only increase our insistence on achieving our rights, which will never become dated. District Governor Ghannam, Anti-Corruption Authority Director Rafiq Al-Natsheh and the leaders of the Fatah branches in Jerusalem and Ramallah laid wreaths on the grave of Eternal Martyr Yasser Arafat, following the mourning ceremonies for Martyr [Mutaz] Hijazi, which were also attended by members of the Fatah Central Committee and representatives of the [Palestinian] National Security Forces. The purpose of the event was to emphasize that Yasser Arafat’s path continues through the generations who remain loyal to it, and that the occupation’s saying, ‘the old will die and the young will forget,’ has been disproven by the Palestinian generations, who defend the national cause… The father of Martyr Hijazi spoke willingly and proudly beside the grave of Eternal Martyr Yasser Arafat, and emphasized that the soul of his son, the Martyr of Jerusalem Mutaz would tell the soul of the eternal Martyr Yasser Arafat that the residents of Jerusalem will not bow their heads, but will continue the struggle to achieve all the Palestinian national rights.”
