During the second intifada, the bloody 2000-2005 Palestinian uprising against the occupation, Israel cut off Abu Dis from Jerusalem by erecting an 8 metre-tall concrete wall, the “separation barrier”.

Huda had three conditions for any potential mate: he had to be educated, a member of the Fatah faction of the PLO – which to her meant a person of moderation, like her father – and, unlike most of the men she knew, not intimidated by a successful, intelligent woman.

Huda gave birth to their fourth child, naming the girl Lujain, which meant “silver” and came from the opening line of one of her favourite songs by Fairuz, the iconic Lebanese singer.

Somewhere within the West Bank and Gaza – or the part of it that Israel hadn’t settled, annexed or set aside for permanent military control – the Palestinians would be granted “less than a state”, as Rabin called it.

The figures close to Arafat pocketed tens of millions of dollars of public money, much of it funnelled through a Tel Aviv bank account, and some even profited from the building of settlements.

After two weeks, the lawyer called to say that Hadi was being held at a detention centre in Gush Etzion, south of Bethlehem, and would soon have a hearing at the military court at the Ofer prison, between Jerusalem and Ramallah.
