Palestinian leader (6)
I believe the answer is:
arafat
'palestinian leader' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for arafat that I've seen before include "Palestinian leader, Nobel Peace Prize winner 1994" , "Yasser -, former Palestinian leader" , "Former PLO leader" , "Yassir -. former Palestinian leader" , "old statesman" .)
