Dr. Amineh Abu-Zayyad (Arabic ‮أمينة أبوزيّاد‬) is the Muslim Arab Palestinian-born former wife of the British Respect MP George Galloway. Zayyad is a biologist who married Galloway in 2000. They had met at a political meeting in Glasgow in 1991. "He was my hero," she says. "He did such a lot for the Palestinians." Zayyad announced her intention to file for divorce in a May 2005 The Sunday Times interview [1] as a result of his alleged frequent adultery.

Abu-Zayyad told the US Senate committee investigating Galloway's alleged links to Iraq's Oil-for-Food Programme "I have never solicited or received from Iraq or anyone else any proceeds of any oil deals, either for myself or for my former husband." [2]
