| Hanna Siniora, Jerusalem |
Han var på den tiden chefredaktör för Al Fajr, tidningen som trotsade förbudet att publicera bilder på Arafat. Hans insatser för den tidens fredsprocess ska inte underskattas. Al Fajr höll sina läsare informerade där andra spelade ett politiskt spel.
Idag är hans betydelse större i det palestinska samhället,skulle jag tro utifrån vad Wiki skriver:
