Mahmoud Al-Aloul: "Yes, we remember the martyrs and the beloved prisoners. We also remember the steadfast prisoner Abu Hawwash, who has been on a hunger strike for 136 or 137 days. We also remember the beloved members of [Fatah's] Central Committee Marwan [Barghouti] and Karim Younes. Let me tell you that in four or five days, Karim will have served 40 years in prison. This is Fatah's leadership. Allah willing, we will welcome Karim here among us soon.

"Yes, we remember all the prisoners, Maher Younes, [Fuad] Al-Shobaki, Ahmad Sa'adat, and all the beloved ones, as well as Zakaria Zubeidi, beloved by these crowds. We know full well how much these prisoners are suffering. They are the expensive price of freedom and independence.

"We take pride in your resistance, oh those who wage popular resistance. You are one form of the resistance, and Fatah believes in all forms of resistance."
