Kamal Nasser

Kamal Butros Nasser (Arabic: كمال ناصر; 1924–10 April 1973) was a Palestinian political leader, writer and poet.

[2] He hailed from a Christian family;[3] his father was Reverend Butrus Nasir, who was a leader within Palestine's Arab Protestant community from Bir Zeit.

He did not serve out his term as a result of his expulsion from Parliament during the subsequent martial law period in Jordan.

Expelled from the West Bank by Israel in 1967, Nasser became editor of the PLO periodical, Falastin Al Thawra, in 1972 and held the post until his assassination on 10 April 1973.

[5] In addition, at that time he became a member of PLO Executive Committee from February 1969 to July 1971, serving as an official with the office of National Guidance.
