Erekat recalls past clash
Palestinian academic Dallal Erekat has reopened the case of the “Palestine Papers,” published by Al Jazeera and *The Guardian* on January 23, 2011. The papers comprised more than 1,600 documents on Palestinian-Israeli negotiations from 1999 to 2010. She said she confronted journalist Clayton Swisher at the Doha Forum about a year ago, criticizing what she saw as a distortion of her father Saeb Erekat’s image and the presentation of the documents out of context. According to her account, Swisher said Al Jazeera had edited and processed the coverage; she replied that a scoop did not justify misleading the public. She called on Al Jazeera to review its coverage and accept professional responsibility, while noting that in October 2011 Ofcom rejected Erekat’s complaint, concluding that the reporting on the documents was fair and justified in the public interest.
