(Ynet News) Ali Waked - Israel's withdrawal from Gaza and the Jenin area in the West Bank is the first step toward Jerusalem, PA Prime Minister Ahmed Qurei said Thursday. He said the struggle would only end once Jerusalem is in their control. "We will still celebrate once we reach our goals and establish a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital, with the return of the refugees," he said. Qurei called the Palestinians, "the children of Yasser Arafat the martyr and the children of Ahmed Yassin the martyr." "We promise you, Arafat, you will stay in our hearts. We will continue to follow your path and carry out your promise that Palestinian girls and boys will wave the Palestinian flag above the walls of Jerusalem, its mosques and churches. We will continue until victory. None of us will give up until we are on Jerusalem's soil."
