History and profile

Al Hadaf was founded in Beirut in 1969[2][3] by Ghassan Kanafani as the political mouthpiece of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP),[1][4] espousing a Marxist–Leninist version of pan-Arab Palestinian nationalism. Kanafani also served as the editor-in-chief of the weekly.[5] Deputy editor was Bassam Abu Sharif.[6] In 1972, Kanafani was killed by a car bomb, but Al Hadaf remains in publication. Abu Sharif replaced him as editor of the magazine which is based in Beirut.[2][7][8]
