The longtime politician was angry at Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas for not appointing her to succeed Saeb Erekat as head of the negotiating team with Israel.
(December 22, 2020 / JCPA) Hanan Ashrawi resigned from the Palestinian Liberation Organization following Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas’s rejection of her request to become the head of the negotiating team with Israel after Saeb Erekat’s death.
