Al-Tamimi: When I claim that Arafat was poisoned, try to quiet me

Ramez Abu Yusuf

Young people are leading during the most challenging times for the Palestinian cause

The administration of Netanyahu is the same as earlier Zionist administrations 

The Palestinian struggle, the creation of the Palestinian National Authority, the association with the late president Yasser Arafat, the forerunners of the Palestinian Shari'a judiciary, and the key players in the Islamic High Commission in Jerusalem are just a few of the shining names. It's Sheikh D. Tayseer Rajab Hamed Byoud al-Tamimi, who exclusively to Al-Anbat spoke in-depth and informatively Chairman Arafat's final moments, washing, sufficiency, and burial, the Palestinian division, the fabled resiliency of youth, and other significant themes. 

Tamimi spoke about the most recent changes on the Palestinian scene in the wake of the Israeli right's victory in the Knesset elections. The rift between the Palestinian National Action factions, which is widening the gap between these factions and the people, is principally to blame for the Palestinian issue's current state of difficulty. Because it is made up of fascist Zionist parties trying to uproot the Palestinian people from their land and nation and deny them of their legal rights, Netanyahu's forthcoming right-wing administration is identical to all preceding Zionist administrations. I think the Palestinians are responsible for the event. The brave actions taken by their sons in recent days in Jenin, Nablus, Hebron, Ramallah, etc., demonstrate that these patient people stationed in their homeland and land will prevail.  They also disobey all governments and numerous right-wing and Zionist parties.

In ancient Palestine, there are currently more Palestinians than Jewish rapists. Tthe Middle East "The plans of Zionist parties and the Zionist vision in Palestine cannot be realized". The Palestinian people have a bright future in Palestine thanks to a number of interconnected reasons. P olitical objectives "The Zionist project started by reversing the Jews' unrelenting and unrestricted support for the Zionist entity in the United States and other Western countries because that entity had long since collapsed in the face of the determination of the Palestinian people to defend their holy sites and hold on to their homeland". Zionist parties, on the other hand, are only linked to political interests. 

And whether he thinks the route to emancipation lies in the Palestinian youth's loyalty to and defense of their ancestral home and modern-day territories. He said, "Yes," stating that Palestinian youth take the initiative in protecting their country, homeland, and religious integrity and outpace all group leaders in their actions and bravery. While factions and their leaders are divided over themselves because of their partisan and limited personal goals, Palestinian youth have true field unity against the occupation. People have high expectations for these young people's trust in God, as well as for their commitment to upholding their just cause with all of their might. 

Al-Tamimi expressed regret that the Palestinian National Authority had issued registration certificates and donated this land to the Russian Church in flagrant violation of the legitimate provisions prohibiting the granting of benefit in this land to non-Muslims. He also addressed the issue of Tamim al-cessation Dari's in Hebron and the issue of the land of Maskobiya with occupation. Sadly, we have also engaged in legal disputes before the Palestinian courts, but to no purpose. According to Tamimi, the late President Yasser Arafat was keen for national unity between the groups of Palestinian national activity and was eager to resist the occupation in numerous ways. This was especially true of the latter days of his life, when he oversaw his washing, sufficiency, and burial. Israel and the United States must carry out their plan to do away with it in order to resolve the Palestinian question. This time, I urge turning to the International Court of Justice in The Hague, especially now that the circumstances surrounding the murder of Martyr Arafat have been fully established following the disclosure of witness testimony to the Palestinian Commission of Inquiry, which was established more than 12 years ago. 

In particular, during the siege he put on the district headquarters for more than 34 months, when I frequently visited him during that time, I had a privileged and long-standing contact with President Arafat that was documented following his return to his homeland in 1994. 

The Holy Quran should be your companion during this siege, and you should begin memorizing the Book of Allah Almighty. On one occasion, he was uneasy when I asked him  why he said [no one was asking about me from heads of State, and if I tried to contact one of them, he did not answer my call]. I told him you were stronger than all of them, so you alone could tell Clinton at Camp David "No," and at that point, I told him. He would ask for me and call me to come to it if I was running late. During his siege, he managed to      salvage 20 portions of the Quran. When he was martyred on Ramadan 15 and before he traveled to Paris for medical attention, I went to tell him to go to the UAE while I was en route to the Tunisian medical staff. They instructed me to tell him to go eat breakfast since he required fluids due to his extreme vomiting and diarrhea. He also said, "Sheikh Tayseer, do you want me to make breakfast when I'm 74?" in front of me. He declined to eat breakfast and kept the fast going. When I expressed an intention in leaving, he asked me to stay and pray  al-maghrib with him. I answered to him during this time, and he talked to me about a lot of subjects. He offered me a photo of an American torturing an Iraqi prisoner in Abu Ghraib. Where is the brotherhood of the Arabs? Start tearing up .

After performing Isha prayer with him, I left Mukataa. The following day, I flew from my house to Cairo on my route to the UAE, and when I was in Cairo, I learned that his condition had gotten worse. I ran out of my visit and back to Ramallah. I wrote to him several times during these trying times up until the time he was due to fly to Paris for treatment. So, when I went to bid him farewell on his last night of travel, I saw several political views that seemed to be hinting at something. I won't get into it now. — Days after arriving in Paris, word of his health situation's gravity and a heated argument among individuals he was with there started to circulate there. 

While I was at the airport waiting for the airplane to travel to Paris via Amsterdam, I departed for Amman. I learned that Sheikh Tamimi was traveling to Paris with the shroud of Abu Ammar, and I also learned from Israeli media that a Muslim cleric was leaving for Amsterdam by plane and traveling to Paris to cast his ballot before removing Arafat's medical equipment. I got to know Tahir al-Masri, the former prime minister of Jordan, and Dr. Hanna Nasser, the head of the Palestinian Election Commission, on the flight to Amsterdam. And they informed me that the media had been discussing you, despite the fact that I already knew that those leaks had come from the Israeli media. I arrived in Amsterdam at night and left for Paris the next morning, on Ramadan 27, at 8 a.m. Leila Shaheed, the niece of President Arafat and the Palestinian ambassador to Paris, welcomed Dr. Nasser Al-Kidwa. I responded, "No, I immediately go to the hospital, and I try to get me through the back door of the hospital. I tell them I want to get through the main door that the media rallies in because last night the media spoke with false statements about my attendance at Paris; I want to tell the truth, and the doctor told me: Leave it to me, I'm bringing it up. I replied, "No, it's about me, and I can tell the truth." The media, reporters, and cameras gathered at the main entrance of the Percy Military Hospital when I arrived. I asked about the rumor that I was coming to vote by removing the president's medical device, which was reported by the Israeli media, citing Yediot Ahronot, and I responded, "Islam and all religions may not remove medical devices from any patient as long as it has manifestations of life, heat, and movement." 

There were several officials present when I arrived to the hospital, and the director informed me that I was forbidden from going to Arafat. I asked him why. We decline to tamper with clerics in the hospital because you are a member of the clergy and we are a secular state. Dr. Al-Kidwa asked me to wait and said that the director of the hospital would request permission from the Elysee French Presidential Palace while we waited. I continued by telling the media that France was a country of freedom, justice, and human rights that had prevented me from entering Chairman Arafat because of its secular principles. Khaled Mishal then contacted Ms. Suha Arafat while we waited. A half-hour later, the hospital administration permitted me to enter the President, and on the way to his room, Dr. Ramzi Khoury was with me and Dr. Ramzi. Sheikh Tamimi had come between us, and she told him that. He asked her to speak to me, and he told me: There is a conspiracy on President Arafat's life. After 30 minutes, the medical staff gave me permission to enter the President's chamber. Dr. Ramzi Khoury was with me, and he asked me: "How are you?" Thank God, he warned me, saying, "You will see a startling view. "Every day, we see the shreds of the martyrs and collect them to bury them, so our hearts and nerves become more tolerant," I told Ahmed Qurei as he entered the President. If it weren't for me holding the bed and sitting in the chair next to it, I would have fallen to the floor when I entered the President's room and saw him strapped to a number of devices with his face locked and his head swollen. I started reciting the Holy Quran while closing my eyes to block out the sight. I opened my eyes after more than an hour and a half and noticed that he was moving uncontrollably when I glanced over at his shoulder. I was released when it was time for al-Maghrib prayer and informed the media that the President was alive because he was moving. The physicians informed me that the President's health had improved and that his pulse had begun to normalize when I returned to the hospital after breakfast. I stayed by his side until 3:30 a.m. on Thursday, November 11, when he moved to God's mercy. When people asked me about the improvement in his health just before he passed away, I explained that this was a deathwake and that his washing and shrouding would be delayed until the evening because President Chirac would be arriving at 5 p.m. to give him one last look. I advised them to wash and shroud him right away; as a result, several sheikhs showed up to the Paris mosque at 8 a.m. to carry out my advice. After more than five hours since his martyrdom, when I began washing him, I discovered that blood was still oozing from his body. I thus asked the doctor, a Frenchman of Moroccan descent who spoke Arabic, to bring him tape until I could apply it to the regions where the blood was flowing. "This hospital is a hematology hospital, and there are some types of toxins that go through the thrombosis of blood and keep running like water, I noticed while washing a strong body like athletes' bodies, I expected to see a body that was exhausted due to disease and old age, which shows that he was not suffering from any chronic disease," he continued. The sheikhs of the Paris mosque and I performed prayers at him after he had been washed and shrouded in a shroud. After that, the casket was closed and put in the hospital freezer. He had suggested that I bury him in Jerusalem, so I requested to go back to Ramallah to prepare the cemetery. They informed me that there was no flight to Amman, so I requested to return in the President's private aircraft since he would be taken to Cairo by a French aircraft later that day. Because the jet would depart from Cairo after I was there and President Zain El Abidine Ben Ali would be traveling with her to Cairo, they requested me to graduate to Tunisia by plane to bring the daughter of President Zahwa Arafat. I had Dr. Omar, the President's personal physician. We want to design a grave so that it will be simpler to relocate to Jerusalem in the future without having iron handles, so I went to Cairo, Amman, and Ramallah before meeting Dr. Mohammed Shtiyyeh. He despatched several young people to Jerusalem to bring dirt from Al-Aqsa Mosque and gave engineers instructions to equip the burial to be temporary in order to allow its eventual transfer to Jerusalem. Three helicopters arrived in Cairo on Friday, December 11, one of which was carrying Chairman Arafat's coffin. Despite the military obstacles that the occupying authorities had up on city gates and roadways, people from all around hurried to pay their respects. The body was supposed to be recorded in Mukataa for the final viewing, but due to the chaos of the crowd, I made the quick decision to head straight to the cemetery. When I lowered the coffin, I was unable to open it because people had fallen into the grave. 

On the basis of the French doctor's testimony, I announced that Chairman Arafat had been poisoned while we were in Mukataa to accept the condolences. However, some leaders tried to silence me, and we got into a disagreement about how Israel had not acknowledged the President's poison death and that we would then accuse one another of it. I then asked for the creation of a crime commission, and a month later, while attending an AIDS conference, I was the victim of a poisoning attempt, many medical professionals attended the conference in addition to a number of Muslim and Christian clerics, and after I retired, I provided testimony to the Palestinian Committee that was established in 2010 to conduct an investigation. But I refrained from going into more detail since I was told that I had merely responded to the questions and that there was some material in my statement that I was introducing. He claimed that the abominable split in the service of occupation was the most pressing problem facing the Palestinian cause, as national unity among groups was the most effective tool in the fight against occupation. Regarding his relationship with President Mahmoud Abbas, I have worked with him for a number of years, but I am in the nascent stages of my career, and before I had been eligible for retirement for two years, he made the impermissible decision to send me to retirement. I think that my close friendship with President Arafat played a role in this referral. I don't hold a position of power right now, but I am the Supreme Islamic Commission of Jerusalem's secretary. Regarding the significance of the Hashemite guardianship of Jerusalem, I think that it has preserved this magnificent city and its identity as well as its religious sites, both Muslim and Christian. The Al-Aqsa Mosque and other sacred sites in the city would be taken over by the occupation authority if this guardianship, which oversees them, were to cease to exist. Jordan's Hashemite role will continue to be observed by settlers and all Zionist Governments until the retreats and cleats in Al-Aqsa are under siege from the harsh occupation, we find His Majesty King Abdullah II. The Palestinian people and their just cause have the natural and sincere support of Jordan's King, Government, and People. The courageous views taken by the Jordanian people in support of the Palestinian struggle are the clearest indication of the close ties that exist between the two peoples, and His Majesty King Abdullah II is the finest person to speak on behalf of and defend the Palestinian cause. In light of the occupying Power, the interaction between the Muslim clergy and the Christian community is crucial. They stand for the harmony between the two halves of the country. Since the caliphate, when the adherents of Umar ibn al-Khattab in Jerusalem secured their churches, crosses, and places of prayer, this bond has grown over time.
