Hanan Ashrawi captured the international spotlight at the 1991 Middle East
peace conference in Madrid with her eloquent articulation of the
Palestinian view. Frustrated by deadlock in the peace process with Israel,
economic hardship and alleged corruption, she resigned from President
Arafat's reshuffled Cabinet in late 1998. She is a critic of the Palestine
National Authority as well as Israeli violations of Palestinian human rights.
