Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat has died.
The 75- year- old had been suffering from an undisclosed illness at a French military hospital near Paris for the past several days.
Arafat led the Palestinians for four decades, and forced his people's plight into the world spotlight.
But he was never able to achieve his lifelong quest for Palestinian statehood.
Drew Levinson joins us now from Jerusalem, with more on Arafat's death and what it may mean for peace efforts in the Middle East.
