Dr. Ahmed Soboh, Chairman of the Yasser Arafat Foundation, met with a delegation from the Islamic Waqf Committee in Jaffa, led by Mohammed Abdullah Drihi, on May 5, 2025, at the Foundation's headquarters in Ramallah. The delegation discussed the foundation's mission, which is focused on preserving the legacy of Yasser Arafat and the history of the Palestinian people.

Dr. Soboh emphasized that understanding Abu Ammar requires understanding the broader context of Palestinian history and shared the foundation's goals, programs, and ongoing initiatives aimed at advancing Palestinian cultural and national causes.

The meeting also covered the computerized system for Palestinian refugee land ownership, which provides access to documents related to over five and a half million dunams of land that belonged to Palestinian refugees within areas that are now part within what has come to be known as "Israel". Both sides explored potential avenues for cooperation to serve the Palestinian people, safeguard Palestinian identity, and promote national and religious cultural development.
