One of Islam's most influential figures is a central character in three contemporary novels, as the story of his life resonates in today's chaotic world

The acclaimed writer tells Al Majalla that Israel has used October 7 as a pretext to seize Palestinian land and erase their culture and history

UN Resolution 181 was never implemented, and instead of getting half of their ancestral homeland, the Palestinians got nothing; 77 years later, the situation remains as bleak as ever.

Israel was never sincere about a two-state solution, but we will continue to push for our national independence, with or without the 'peace process'

The author's decision to write about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict shouldn't come as a surprise to his longtime readers.

On 13 September 1993, the Oslo Accords were signed between Palestinian and Israeli leaders under US auspices. Since then, Israel has put facts on the ground that make a Palestinian state impossible.

The draft includes a Palestinian state with a capital in Jerusalem, annexation of 4.4% of the West Bank territory, and "Arab security presence" in Gaza

As students in Cairo in the 1960s, al-Qaddumi and Yasser Arafat founded the Palestinian Fatah movement and worked with Nasser. To his dying day, he refused to go back home under an Israeli permit

Netanyahu's government will stop at nothing to destroy the group behind 7 October and is prepared to make the Strip uninhabitable. To survive, Hamas only has difficult roads ahead

The Palestinians need and deserve unity, a clear vision, and a feasible long-term strategy. Instead they have rival leaderships both convinced that they are right and the other is wrong.
