Palestinians Rally in Gaza at 2-Year Anniversary of Conflict
Yasir Arafat, the Palestinian leader, addressed a rally of thousands of people in Gaza City, speaking by telephone from his office in the West Bank city of Ramallah, where a renewed Israeli siege stretched into a 10th day. Dismissing the siege, Mr. Arafat said that Palestinians should remain steadfast in demanding territory.

"This revolution is remaining, and winning, with God's will," he said.

Mr. Arafat declared that "noble Jerusalem will be the capital of Palestine whether anybody wants it or not." The rally, and Mr. Arafat's message, were broadcast live on Palestinian television.
