UN Secretary General Kofi Annan:
Arafat's legacy will be the one, the leader, the president who united the Palestinian people, the leader who kept the Palestinian national identity from extinction, the man who initiated the peace of the brave, the man who united the Palestinian people and it's his legacy of peace.
Israeli opposition leader Shimon Peres :
(It is) good that the world is rid of him... The sun is shining in the Middle East.
