RESTRICTION SUMMARY: APAwire CLIENTS ONLY SHOTLIST: APAwire - APAwire CLIENTS ONLY, Nablus - 14 November 2022. Palestinians attend a festival marking the 18th anniversary of the death of the late Palestinian President Yasser Arafat, in the West Bank city of Nablus. 0.1 SOUNDBITE (in Arabic) Haider Kayed/ Member of the Fatah Region Committee in Nablus. STORYLINE: Arafat, also known as Abu Ammar by Palestinians, wearing the traditional Palestinian keffiyeh and military fatigues, put forward a revolutionary stance and adopted different ways for the Palestinian liberation struggle. In 1994, Arafat moved to Gaza, which was controlled by the Palestinian National Authority (PNA) -- the provisional entity created by the Oslo Accords. Growing Palestinian frustration and anger about Israel’s violations of the deal eventually paved the way for the Second Intifada in 2000. In late 2004, after effectively being confined to his compound in Ramallah for more than two years by the Israeli army, Arafat, 75, fell into a coma and died. The cause of Arafat's death has been a subject of speculation ever since. Footage by APAwire
