The former Palestinian delegate to the EU, Leila Shahid, has told EUobserver that she left diplomacy behind in order not to betray her people, and that she is furious with the EU's response to the ongoing conflict.
The 74-year-old Palestinian representative from 2006-2015 is a thoughtful woman. As the Lebanon-born daughter to Palestinian parents walks into the restaurant in Paris's 16th arrondissement to meet the Foreign Press Club, the journalists waiting for her immediately take a stand. She is especially well-known and respected in France, even among those who disagree with her.
