Arafat burial moves to Ramallah but Jerusalem burial considered
Palestinian officials fast tracked interim leadership and burial plans for Yasser Arafat after his death in France. The flag draped casket arrived in Cairo and the body was to be transported to Ramallah for burial in the compound where he spent two decades under house arrest. A Jerusalem burial with earth from Haram as-Sharif was discussed but opposed by Israel. Friday’s funeral falls on Ramadan’s final Friday.
