Erekat: Arafat was accused of corruption and lying for the cause...

Secretary of the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization Saeb Erekat defended the stance of the late President Yasser Arafat on the cause of his country, saying that he was “demonized.”

Erekat wrote in a series of tweets on “Twitter”: “The same broken record they used with the immortal, Yasser Arafat, was besieged and murdered, oppressed, demonized and accused of corruption and lying.”

He added, “Arafat insisted that Jerusalem, including the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, be the capital of the independent State of Palestine on the 1967 borders, while ensuring the right of return for refugees and rejecting settlement and annexation.”

Erekat’s comment came as a comment on a television interview broadcast earlier this week by the former Saudi intelligence chief Prince Bandar bin Sultan, in which he said: “The kingdom during the era of King Fahd obtained an American initiative, and when the former Palestinian President Yasser Arafat learned, he danced with joy and said: Palestine was liberated. “.
