	iafrica.com \| news \| world news Mideast negotiator Erakat resigns
		Saeb Erakat, who resigned Friday as Palestinian negotiations minister, has been the front man in talks with Israel ever since the 1991 launch of the peace process but also a critic of the establishment.
		Erakat regards the three officials due to attend the meeting with Sharon as members of the "Tunis clan" of PLO officials who returned from exile after the 1993 Oslo autonomy accords and led a luxurious lifestyle while the Palestinian people was suffering.
		Erakat was vice chairman of the Palestinian delegation at the Madrid conference from which the PLO was excluded and has since been a senior member of negotiating teams at talks in Washington, Camp David and Taba, Egypt.

	DVD Talk Forum - Erakat is history!
		JERUSALEM (CNN) -- Saeb Erakat handed in his letter of resignation as the Palestinian minister in charge of negotiations with Israel, Palestinian official sources said Friday, just before Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas hold their highly symbolic, landmark meeting.
		Israeli media are quoting unnamed senior Palestinian officials who say that Erakat was enraged by Abbas' decision not to include Erakat at the Saturday session, which will represent the first Israeli-Palestinian summit since September 2000, and the start of the latest Palestinian uprising against Israel.
		Erakat dismissed such reports, calling them "nonsense" and said he turned in his resignation before he even knew whether he would be attending the Saturday meeting.

		Erakat, you call for resuming these negotiations, but this call comes at a time when the administration makes it quite clear how they feel about Yasser Arafat.
		ERAKAT: Listen, the fact that there are suicide bombers in Israeli streets, the fact that there are Palestinians being buried (ph) every day, the fact that there are Israeli tanks in (UNINTELLIGIBLE), that there are Israeli assassinations, is really troubling me. All I know is that we need help.

		A particularly egregious example occurred on September 10, when CNN's Jim Clancy respectfully interviewed Palestinian Saeb Erakat, accepting his many false assertions as self-evident truths, not interrupting even once, then “interviewed” Israeli Natan Sharansky, in what could more accurately be called a hostile cross-examination.
		SAEB EREKAT, PALESTINIAN NEGOTIATOR: Well I can tell you, Jim, that the Palestine Central Council just concluded its meeting five minutes ago, and the PCC addressed the Palestinian position for the strategic choice of peace.
		In this interview Clancy and CNN provided a platform for Erakat to level numerous false charges and claims, including that UN Resolutions 242 and 338 call for creation of a Palestinian state, or that it is Israel that has violated the Oslo Accords.
