The death of Yasser
Arafat is a significant moment in Palestinian history. We express
our condolences to the Palestinian people. For the Palestinian people,
we hope that the future will bring peace and the fulfillment of their
aspirations for an independent, democratic Palestine that is at peace
with its neighbors. During the period of transition that is ahead, we
urge all in the region and throughout the world to join in helping make
progress toward these goals and toward the ultimate goal of peace.
