On the anniversary of the death of the leader Yasser Arafat, President Mahmoud Abbas:
We confirm our adherence to the national principles and continue to work to achieve our people's right to self-determination, return and independence, and the establishment of a Palestinian state within the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital.
We emphasize that aggression, displacement, settlement and annexation will not deter our people from clinging to their land and rights, and we call for increased efforts to stop the aggression, rebuild Gaza and hold Israel accountable.
We confirm that national unity is a priority that cannot be postponed, and call for unification of ranks according to the principle of one authority, one law and one legitimate weapon, while maintaining the PLO as a comprehensive national framework.
