An long-time icon while alive, Arafat has found a resting place right next to the presidential headquarters he spent his last years. Question is: will it be his last resting place?
The mausoleum of Arafat consists of a brand-new square construction of Jerusalem stone and glass, surrounded by water on three sides. It measures 11 by 11 metres, a reference to the date he died - 11 November. The Israelis did not want to grant Arafat's last wish: to be buried in or near the Al Aqsa Mosque in East Jerusalem, which belongs to the Palestinians according to the 1967 borders and which the Palestinians still hope will be their capital one day. To underline the and symbolize temporary state of the mausoleum, it was built on the spot of a natural spring; it is surrounded by water. Furthermore, a piece of rail track was entombed under Arafat's tomb.
