Chief Palestinian negotiator and Palestinian Authority cabinet member Saeb Erekat announced Thursday morning in an interview on Israel’s Army Radio that he may leave politics.
Erekat was amongst the 21-member Palestinian Authority cabinet who resigned Wednesday, preempting a no-confidence vote by the Palestinian Legislative Council (PLC).
When the interviewer asked where his future lies and whether he would consider being a minister in the new government, Erekat replied, "Professionally speaking, I think its time to do something else".
Erekat said he sees his future as a professor at a university, not in politics, although he has not totally ruled out a future post in the PA. (Albawaba.com)
