Last month, Erekat accused Al Jazeera of taking part in a campaign to overthrow the PA after exposing over 1,600 confidential files on the negotiations between Palestinian and Israeli officials. these leakswere later made public by the network.
The documents exposed concessions to Israel in 10 years of secret peace talks, embarrassing and angering the PA leadership.
Ofcourse during the time the papers leaked, Erekat accused Al Jazeera of attempting to hurt the peace process and provoke people into "a revolution against their leaders in order to bring down the Palestinian political system".
He insisted that the PA's position on Jerusalem, refugees and borders during peace negotiations were based on internationally recognised principles.
weeks leter, Erekat steps down and meanwhile, the chief Palestinian negotiator in peace talks with Israel is also resigning. Saeb Erekat has resigend as a result of information leaked in documents last month.
