		</div><p>Senior Palestinian official Saeb Erekat is in a critical condition and breathing with a ventilator due to Covid-19, according to the Israeli hospital treating him.</p>
<p>Hadassah Medical Centre described Mr Erekat’s case as extremely challenging given his history of health problems, including a lung transplant performed three years ago.</p>
<p>It said he suffered from a weak immune system and a bacterial infection in addition to Covid-19.</p>
<p>It added Mr Erekat, 65, was sedated and that its most senior doctors were consulting with international experts on how best to manage such a complicated case.</p>
<p>Mr Erekat has been one of the Palestinians’ most recognisable faces over the past 30 years, serving as their senior negotiator during on-again, off-again peace talks.</p>
<p>He was also a top aide to late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat and current Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.</p>
<p>A fluent English speaker, Western-educated Mr Erekat also makes frequent appearances in the media.</p>
<p>He was transferred to Hadassah on Sunday at the request of the Palestinian Authority.</p>
