Jerusalem
Saeb Erekat, a veteran peace negotiator and prominent international spokesman for Palestinians over three decades, died Tuesday, weeks after being infected by the Coronavirus. He was 65.
The American-educated Erekat was involved in nearly every round of peace negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians going back to the landmark Madrid conference in 1991, when he famously showed up draped in a black-and-white checkered keffiyeh, a symbol of Palestinian nationalism.
