Fatah leader and former Palestinian lawmaker Abdul Aziz Shaheen has died in the Gaza Strip, health officials reported, after falling into a coma overnight. The 80-year-old official had been suffering from liver failure. He received medical treatment abroad before opting to take treatment in his homeland. Aziz Shaheen’s funeral will take place in Rafah next Tuesday, local sources said. The leading Fatah member became a refugee after his family fled the village of Basheet during the 1948 Nakba. He served 15 years in Israeli prisons before being deported to Jordan, then Tunisia, returning to Palestine in the wake of the 1994 Oslo Accords.
