Palestinian experts say finding new top negotiator can wait until the Biden Administration’s policies become clear

The Arab states in the Gulf understand that the Palestinians are not serious about peace, and these states are no longer willing to let them stop normalization with Israel.

To some Palestinians and as well as some in the international community and on the Israeli Left, he was a figure of unwavering commitment to peace.

Israeli and world leaders eulogize the chief Palestinian negotiator.

"The departure of the brother and the friend, the great fighter Saeb Erekat, represents a big loss for Palestine and for our people," said Abbas.

In his demands about how peace should be reached and his acceptance of terrorism as legitimate, Erekat's legacy may be one of preventing a Palestinian Israeli peace rather than fostering it.

The readers of The Jerusalem Post have their say.

Erekat was admitted to the hospital earlier this week after suffering from coronavirus for the past month.
