Palestinians in the West Bank have commemorated the 20th anniversary of the death of late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat.
A speech festival was held on Monday at Arafat’s tomb in the Palestinian Presidential Compound in Ramallah, central West Bank, organised by the Palestinian National Liberation Movement (Fatah) and attended by both officials and the public, Xinhua news agency reported.
Participants in the event, including dozens of children, raised Palestinian flags, Fatah’s yellow banners, and the keffiyeh that the late leader was often pictured wearing.
