(September 14, 2022 / JNS) Mamdouh Nawfal, adviser on internal affairs to PLO chief Yasser Arafat in 2000, was the subject of a previous interview published this week by the Fatah Party.
Nawfal detailed Arafat’s determination to capitalize on then-Israeli Knesset member and later Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s visit to the Temple Mount in September 2000 to launch what he expected to be a “long” terror campaign, reported Palestinian Media Watch (PMW) on Tuesday.
