In Cairo, Arafat attends Arab League meeting to commemorate the 50th anniversary of An-Nakba and calls for an Arab summit on the stalled peace process, reiterating that Palestinians will keep striving to establish their state. He says this commemoration shows that “Palestinians from different generations have offered proof that the Palestinian dream is alive and that we shall continue handing it down from one generation to another” and refers to the An-Nakba marches held in the Palestinian territories as “a march for the future, much more than a march to lament the massacres, the dispossession and the displacement.” Other speakers include Arab League Sec.-Gen. Abdel- Meguid, Al-Azhar’s Sheikh Tantawi, and Pope Shanuda of the Coptic Church.
