British-Palestinian Journalist Abdel Bari Atwan:
- Kabul airport events will repeat at Israel's Ben Gurion Airport
- By Allah, they should listen to the advice of Hassan Nasrallah and start learning how to swim
- Arafat told me in 1995 that i would live to see the Israelis fleeing Palestine like 'rats fleeing a sinking ship'
British-Palestinian journalist Abdel Bari Atwan said that Israelis know that the scenes from Kabul Airport will be repeated at Israel's Ben Gurion Airport. He made his remarks in an interview that aired on Mayadeen TV (Lebanon) on August 19, 2021.
"In July 1995, I met with President Yasser Arafat in Tunisia.
"Arafat offered me to take a walk outside. It was at night, around 1 AM. So, we went out to take a walk and he told me: 'By Allah, you will see the Israelis fleeing Palestine, like rats fleeing a sinking ship.' He told me: 'You will get to see this in your time. I will not live to see that day, but you are much younger than me, and you will get to see this.' Today I believe that this prophecy will come true."
