Who is yassar arafat?
Arafat, Yasir, pronounced AHR uh fat, YAHS uhr (1929-2004), was head of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) from 1969 to 2004 and president of the Palestinian Authority (PA) from 1996 to 2004. His first name was also spelled Yasser. The PLO is a political body that represents the Palestinian people. Its goal is to establish an independent Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, territories fully or partly occupied by Israel since 1967. Israel, the Gaza Strip, and the West Bank make up the historic region of Palestine in southwest Asia. The PA was created in 1994 to govern Palestinian-controlled parts of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Arafat probably was born on Aug. 24, 1929, in Cairo, Egypt, to Palestinian parents. He claimed that he was born in Jerusalem. His full name was Mohammed Abdel-Raouf Arafat al-Qudwa al-Husseini. He acquired the nickname Yasir, which means easygoing, as a teen-ager. In 1956, he earned a degree in civil engineering at King Fuad I University (later Cairo University). In the 1950's, Arafat helped organize Fatah, a guerrilla group that opposed Israeli control of territory in Palestine. In 1964, Arab leaders established the PLO to represent the Palestinians. In 1967, Israel defeated Arab countries in a war and began occupying the West Bank and Gaza Strip. After the war, Palestinian guerrilla groups gained control of the PLO. The largest was Fatah, led by Arafat. In 1969, Arafat was elected chairman of the PLO Executive Committee, the highest PLO post. Fatah and other PLO groups repeatedly raided and attacked Israeli targets and, in turn, Israel attacked PLO and guerrilla bases. In 1974, Arafat became the first person to address the United Nations (UN) General Assembly as a leader of a liberation movement rather than a UN member state. That year, the UN recognized the PLO as the representative of the Palestinians. In 1982, Israel invaded Lebanon, where the PLO was based. Arafat and his supporters were forced to leave their bases in Lebanon. They then moved to Tunisia. In 1993, the PLO and Israel agreed to the creation of a Palestinian Authority to govern parts of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. In the 1990's, Israeli-PLO agreements led to the withdrawal of Israeli troops from most of the Gaza Strip and many cities and towns of the West Bank. As the Israelis withdrew, the PA took control of these areas. In 1994, Arafat moved to the Gaza Strip, marking the end of a 27-year exile from Palestine. That year, Arafat and the Israeli leaders Yitzhak Rabin and Shimon Peres shared the Nobel Peace Prize for their peace efforts. In 1996, Arafat was elected president of the PA. In 2000, peace talks between Israel and the PLO broke down, and a period of violence began between Israelis and Palestinians. Arafat's position was weakened. In 2003, he agreed to appoint a prime minister to assume some of his PA executive duties. In late 2004, Arafat became seriously ill. He died on Nov. 11, 2004.
Who is Mr. Arafat?
Mohammed Yasser Abdel Rahman Abdel Raouf Arafat al-Qudwa al-Husseini (Arabic: محمد ياسر عبد الرحمن عبد الرؤوف عرفات القدوة الحسيني‎,Mʋhɑm̑ɑd Iásɩr Oɑbdʋălȓɑhmªn Oɑbdʋălȓɑůúf Oɑrɑfát alQʋd̉uɑë alHʋsɑỉní; 24 August 1929 - 11 November 2004), popularly known asYasser Arafat (Arabic: ياسر عرفات‎) or by his kunya Abu Ammar (Arabic: أبو عمار‎, 'Abū `Ammār), was a Palestinian leader and a Laureate of the Nobel Prize. He was Chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), President of the Palestinian National Authority (PNA),[3]and leader of the Fatah political party, which he founded in 1959.[4] Arafat spent much of his life fighting against Israel in the name of Palestinian self-determination. Originally opposed to Israel's existence, he modified his position in 1988 when he accepted UN Security Council Resolution 242. Arafat and his movement operated from several Arab countries. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Fatah faced off with Jordan in a brief civil war. Forced out of Jordan and into Lebanon, Arafat and Fatah were major targets of Israel's 1978 and 1982 invasions of that country. Arafat remains a highly controversial figure whose legacy has been widely disputed. He was "revered by many Arabs," and the majority of the Palestinian people, regardless of political ideology or faction, viewed him as a freedom fighter who symbolized their national aspirations and "was willing to stop at nothing short of achieving it". However he was "reviled by many Israelis" and Western nations, who viewed him as a "unrepentant terrorist and war criminal with a long legacy of promoting violence", particularly in regards to his support of hijackings,kidnappings, and hostage-takings in the 70's and 80's.[5][6] Israel has also accused him of mass corruption, secretly amassing a personal wealth estimated to be USD $1.3 billion in 2002 despite the degrading economic conditions of the Palestinians. [7] Alignment of Yasser Arafat and the PLO with Saddam Hussein, who had invaded Kuwait in 1990, led to the controversial 1991 Palestinian exodus. Prior to theGulf War, Palestinians made up about 30% of Kuwait's population of 2.2 million.[8] Yet, during a single week, in March 1991, Kuwaitexpelled about 450,000 Palestinians from its territory.[9] This unfortunate result of Arafat's policies has become the second largest displacement of Palestinian Arabs ever, and among the largest modern ethnic cleansings in the Middle East. Later in his career, Arafat engaged in a series of negotiations with the government of Israel to end the decades-long conflict between it and the PLO. These included the Madrid Conference of 1991, the 1993 Oslo Accords and the 2000 Camp David Summit. His political rivals, including Islamists and several PLO leftists, often denounced him for being corrupt or too submissive in his concessions to the Israeli government. In 1994, Arafat received the Nobel Peace Prize, together with Yitzhak Rabin and Shimon Peres, for the negotiations at Oslo. During this time, Hamas and other militant organizations rose to power and shook the foundations of the authority that Fatah under Arafat had established in the Palestinian territories. In late 2004, after effectively being confined within his Ramallah compound for over two years by the Israeli army, Arafat became ill, fell into a coma and died on 11 November 2004 at the age of 75. While the exact cause of his death remains unknown and no autopsy was performed, his doctors spoke of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura and cirrhosis.
