Reporter: Let
us welcome the honorable Governor of Bethlehem, Abdel-Fattah Hamaiel.
Abdel-Fattah
Hamaiel: I would like to salute you and Palestinian Authority TV,
which – and I say this in all humility – is conveying a very important
national, humane, and moral message, at a time when we are all too familiar
with the tyranny and oppression of the occupier, which takes its toll
on all human aspects of life.
On a different matter,
I am pleased to be here, the home of the parents of the hero prisoner,
'Amer Abu Sarhan...
Reporter: They
are the parents of the martyr Faisal as well.
Abdel-Fattah
Hamaiel: Right. We hold 'Amer in high esteem, and through you, would
like to convey to him, and to all his courageous, heroic, and steadfast
fellow prisoners, and to all the glorious women held in the prisons
of the occupation... We would like to convey to them our salutations,
appreciation, and pride.

does the picture of your uncle on your shirt mean to you?
Young nephew

here next to the Al-Aqsa Mosque, and we remember him.
