Yasser Arafat
The motion
That the Parliament extends its deepest condolences to the Palestinian people for the very sad loss of their leader, President Yasser Arafat, who retained popular and unified support across Palestinian communities for 30 years; believes that President Arafat should be remembered for making the world aware of the existence and the struggle of the Palestinians as a people displaced from their homeland, and further believes that the most lasting tribute to Yasser Arafat would be international effort to ensure a viable independent Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza Strip and to ensure the right of return of Palestinian refugees.
