SAEB ERAKAT RIP

The "eternal Palestinian negociator" was a remarkable man.

His energy only matched the granite-like force of his arguments. His fight for the Palestinian cause reached the heights of an epic saga. He never ran out of patience, he never was able to control his rage. His more existential temper never stood in the way of his ability to listen, albeit with plenty of counter-arguments in store.

He was a true representative of all the sorrows of his people, without ever giving up on the endurance which made him a champion of the uphill battle.
