An early pilot · A community project
QADIYA is an independent, noncommercial community project: an archive of Palestine’s history, built for the cause and open to everyone.
This is an early pilot. Its records were gathered with AI help from cited sources and are still being checked, so don’t rely on them yet, and tell us if something is wrong.
We’re looking for people and organisations to build it with us: historians, archivists, translators, designers, developers, and partners who can support the work.
Person · Fateh leader; member of the Legislative Council
born 1959
Born in Kobar near Ramallah on 6 June 1959, he joined Fateh at fifteen, spent four and a half years in Israeli prisons from 1978, and led the student council at Birzeit University. Deported to Jordan in 1987, he helped organise the first Intifada from exile, returned in 1994 and won a seat in the Legislative Council in 1996. He became the main local leader of the second Intifada; arrested by the Israeli army in Ramallah on 15 April 2002, he was sentenced in 2004 to five life terms and forty years, and in 2006 was elected to the Legislative Council, first on the Fateh list, while in prison.
An introductory profile. The source material below provides the fuller record.
الانتفاضة الأولى
Ongoing activity · not a separate dated incident
A popular uprising across the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip, from 9 December 1987 to the signing of the Oslo agreement on 13 September 1993: mass demonstrations, strikes and civil disobedience, led on the ground by a clandestine unified leadership.
الانتفاضة الثانية
Wider context · timing qualified
The al-Aqsa Intifada: an uprising across the occupied territories that began on 29 September 2000, the day after Ariel Sharon’s visit to al-Haram al-Sharif, and lasted until a ceasefire in February 2005.
الانتخابات التشريعية الفلسطينية 2006
On 25 January 2006 Palestinians in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip elected their Legislative Council, and Hamas’s Change and Reform list won 74 of its 132 seats. Israel and the Quartet refused to deal with the government Hamas formed, and the rift that followed divided Gaza from the West Bank.
