Yasser Arafat (Real name Mohammed Abdel-Raouf Arafat al-Qudwa al-Husseini ) recieved the Nobel Peace Prize for the negotiation of the Oslo Peace Treaty in 1993. The peace treaty pulled Israeli forces out of the Gaza Strip and West Bank and gave Palestine the right of self-government in certain areas. Yasser Arafat is seen as a freedom fighter by his followers, but his opponents describe him as corrupt and weak. Arafat is also widely recognized for his leading in the Fatah movement which had to do with terrorism in Israel.
I'm sorry but I don't really understand the peace negotiations that he helped make. They are kind of confusing and it is a lot of information with big fancy words. I'm sure that there were great things done by this man, I'm just not entirely sure what those things are at the moment...
