On 27 October 2004, at a regular meeting in the Palestinian city of Ramallah, Palestinian President Arafat suddenly began to vomit and passed out for a full ten minutes, the cause of Alfat's illness remains unknown despite a prompt diagnosis by doctors.
In order to reassure people, the Palestinian authorities issued a statement that afternoon that the president was suffering from only ordinary pneumonia, but for the Palestinian people, this news did not play any comforting role, because their president had been under siege for three years.
In September 2000, then-Israeli Prime Minister Sharon visited the Temple Mount, a religious shrine in Jerusalem.
Sharon's move quickly provoked strong resentment among the Palestinian people, and on the day of the visit, several suicide bombings and massive bloody clashes broke out near Jerusalem as a warning.
On 3 December, in retaliation, Sharon ordered Israeli forces to launch a massive assault on the Palestinian city of Ramallah, trapping Palestinian President Arafat in the city.
The siege lasted for three years, and under the indiscriminate bombardment of Israel, the city of Ramallah not only had difficulty maintaining communication with the outside world, but even the basic water, electricity and food were difficult to maintain.
Under the pressure of international public opinion, it was not until October 29 that the Israeli government promised to allow Arafat to leave the country freely if it was for medical reasons, and only then did Arafat fly to Paris, France for treatment.
A few days later, Arafat's wife, Suha. Arafat had been by his side day and night, but unfortunately, on 11 November, Arafat died of worsening condition.
The mysterious death of Arafat has caused a huge shock to Palestine, on the one hand, Arafat once personally issued the "Declaration of Palestinian Independence", which is a symbol of the Palestinian national spirit. On the other hand, what was the real cause of Arafat's death?
Arafat, who once had a title called "The Undead Bird of the Middle East," faced fifty-seven assassinations by Israeli "Samod" institutions during his lifetime, but each time he managed to escape.
Israel once organized an assassination team of seventy people, using spies, explosions, car accidents and other means to try to get rid of Arafat, but all failed miserably. But why did Arafat die inexplicably within three years of his siege?
Therefore, the vast majority of Palestinians at that time believed that Arafat died in the assassination of the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad. At first, in the hearts of the Palestinians, there was still a lot of sympathy for the Palestinian "mother of state" Suha.
But soon, Suha's actions wiped out what little Palestinians had in their liking for what little they had left. After Arafat's death, Suhart rejected any investigation and hastily arranged Arafat's funeral.
After all this was done, Suha urgently contacted the Palestinian Authority, hoping that he would inherit Arafat's billions of dollars in assets.
At this time, people suddenly realized that this Suha's care and hasty burial after Arafat's serious illness was only to compete for her husband's inheritance. Arafat was very simple in his lifetime, why did he have such a huge amount of money?
Under the Oslo Peace Agreement between Palestine and Israel in 1993, Israel undertook to deposit value-added tax on goods purchased by Palestinians into the Palestinian treasury.
But until 2000, the money was transferred directly to Arafat's personal account at the Remy Bank. It also makes it difficult to determine whether the ownership of the money is Arafat's or the Palestinian State.
Faced with such unreasonable demands, the Palestinian Authority categorically rejected Suha's request. Just looking at the face of Suha's "mother of the nation", a one-time pension of twenty million US dollars was paid.
It also promised to pay Suha mother and son thirty-five thousand euros a month for their expenses, provided that no political views were expressed.
At this time, Suha knew that her actions had caused dissatisfaction among the Palestinians, so after getting the money, she did not hesitate to return to her hometown of Tunis with her daughter and start a new life.
Arafat met Suha, born into a Tunisian Christian family, where her mother was a prominent Tunisian family and her father was a banker.
From 1983 to 1993, Arafat traveled between France and Tunisia, trying to turn the military conflict with Israel toward a negotiated settlement in a third-country environment.
It was at this time that he met his wife, Suha, who first met in 1986, when she was a student in Paris and had previously been engaged to a local lawyer.
Unexpectedly, Arafat fell in love with this girl who was 33 years younger than himself at the first sight of Suha.
At the time, the Palestinian leader, who was 33 years older than her, was a highly sought after person, according to Suha's recollection. "There are a lot of women who want to marry him, but he only wants me, despite my family's opposition."
So a year later, Suha was invited to officially become Arafat's secretary and translator, and began their secret romance. And they secretly married on Suha's birthday four years after they met.
The news of Suha's marriage to Arafat was strongly opposed by her parents, and upon learning the news, Suha's mother was furious about the situation and flew to Tunisia to angrily rebuke Arafat in front of her face.
Since Alphat had claimed that he would never marry for the sake of the revolutionary cause. Therefore, in the days that followed, Suha lived a life of hiding in Tibet, not only to avoid surveillance but also to move frequently, until many years later, the identities of the two were known to the public, from underground to public.
However, the public soon discovered that the first lady was simply incompatible with the entire Palestinian state.
Palestine is an Islamic state, and although Suha has voluntarily converted to Islam after marriage, she never wears a headscarf that is "ugly" in her eyes in public.
On the contrary, Suha is obsessed with the French fashion world, often wearing the latest fashionable costumes every day, driving his luxury car and wandering the streets of Palestine.
Suha's behavior slowly caused resentment, and in order to improve his image, Suha had to go to the refugee camp to do charity work during his pregnancy to show that he was "motherly in the world".
However, during his visit to Sacra, Suha was in labor, so Suha immediately terminated the event and went to Paris on the grounds that the medical conditions in Palestine were too poor.
After coming to Paris, Suha gave birth to a lovely daughter, Zakhwa, who was diagnosed with leukemia shortly after birth.
But this was good news for Suha, and from then on, she had a reason to go to Paris to recuperate. So she never returned to Palestine for four full years.
For this reason, Palestinian officials even ridiculed her as "the first lady of France." At a time when Arafat was under siege by Israel in Marama and the country was in ruins, the first lady lived in Paris and lived an extravagant and lavish life.
According to the news, during his medical treatment in Paris, Suha lived in a luxury hotel in Paris for many years, and the hotel rented as much as 8700 pounds a night; in addition, he bought a multimillion-dollar high-end mansion near the Champs Elysées, and owned several luxury cars.
Suha, who lives in Paris, never spends a single night in her daughter's hospital, but instead often attends high-end fashion evenings in Paris, wearing the most extravagant suits each time.
In 1999, when Suha met with The First Lady of the United States, Hillary Clinton, due to inappropriate remarks, made Hillary say in an interview with the media afterwards that "the hug with Suha is regrettable."
After Arafat's death, Suha returned to Tunisia with his daughter and defected to Tunisia's Prime Minister, Ben Ali, as the former First Lady of Palestine.
root. Ali was an old friend of Arafat's, so Suha and her daughter were warmly received by tunisian prime minister Ben. Ali also gave them a luxurious villa for the treatment of foreign guests and allowed them to live there in the company of the president's wife, Lyra.
Although life in Tunisia is difficult to compare with life in Paris, it is also comfortable, and during this time, Suha also made raising his daughter Zakhwa the most important job.
At this time, Suha claimed to the outside world that Zakhwa, as the only descendant of Arafat, should grow up in the environment of the Arab countries, Arafat is the leader of the Palestinian people, then his daughter should also inherit her father's legacy, not only to learn Western culture, but also to learn the history and culture of Arab countries.
Arranged by her mother, Suha, Little Zahwa attended an American school in Tunis and was fluent in French, English and Arabic, and excelled in her cultural classes.
Asked if he had plans to remarry, Suha said he had turned down dozens of suitors and that Arafat would always be his only hero. In addition to raising his daughter, under the leadership of the president's wife, Lyra, Suha often participates in charity events and gatherings organized by local celebrities.
With the image of his wife and mother, Suha quickly won the favor of the people, Suha and her daughter also acquired Tunisian citizenship, and everything is developing for the better.
In 2006, however, Suha's good life came to an abrupt end, when she was caught up in a peach-colored affair with Berghasan Trabrusi, the younger brother of Tunisian President's wife, Lyra.
Later, according to Israeli media reports, Le Hassan Trabrusi originally had a crush on Suha's sister, but because the amount of wealth That Suha inherited was too large, Trabrusi gave up Suha's sister and proposed to her instead.
As soon as the dark news of Suha came out, it caused a shock in Palestine. Even the PLO paid tribute to Tunisian Prime Minister Ben Bergeron. Ali protested. However Ben. Although Ali was depressed, he did not embarrass Suha, but after that, Suha's actions became more and more bold.
In 2007, when Suha visited Libya, he actually borrowed money from the then supreme Leader of Libya, Muammar Gaddafi, and after learning of Suha's plight, Gaddafi generously gave Suha a large amount of money.
At the same time, he also called Tunisian Prime Minister Ben Ali and asked him why he did not take good care of the widow of his old friend. Tunisian Prime Minister Ben Ali, after learning about the incident, finally couldn't stand Suha.
On 7 August 2007, Tunisia abruptly announced, without warning, that it had revoked Sukha's citizenship and had frozen all of its assets in Tunisia.
Then, in 2011, the Tunisian Court of First Instance issued an international arrest warrant against Suha for corrupt practices involving the involvement of former Tunisian First Lady Lyra bin Ali in a business transaction involving him in 2006.
Initially, Sukha, in his capacity, declared that he was fully subject to inspection by the Tunisian side. But soon after, Suha immediately repented, denouncing Tunisia's slander of herself as a conspiracy to gain Palestinian interests.
The Tunisian side, faced with such a rogue, expelled the Mother and Daughter of Sukha. But after Suha and her daughter were recently expelled from Tunisia, Qaddafi decided to take care of Suha, because Suha was, after all, the widow of an Arab leader, and taking care of her was bound to earn him greater prestige.
To that end, Gaddafi bought a home specifically for Suha on the island of Malta, valletta, one of the most prestigious neighbourhoods in the Maltese capital, worth up to €1 million.
Gaddafi took the matter very seriously, not only sending his son Saif Isram to supervise the purchase and renovation of the house, but also personally coordinating with the Maltese government to meet all the needs of Mrs. Arafat as much as possible, in addition to arranging for three bodyguards at his disposal.
After turning his face again and coming to the island of Malta, Suha spent a peaceful life here, but what was unexpected was that with the change of public opinion and the death of Gaddafi over the years, Suha's attitude once again changed by one hundred and eighty degrees.
Nine years after Arafat's death, when the reporter interviewed Suha again, the image of Suha's good wife and mother who had been closely cared for in front of Arafat's bedside had been swept away.
At this time, she said that she regretted her wedding to Arafat and would never marry him if she made another choice. Suha said "The marriage to Arafat was a big mistake and I regret it, we've been married for 22 years and it feels like 50 years. ”
In addition to this, Suha has repeatedly stressed that she has repeatedly tried to leave her husband, but has been deprived of her freedom, and even claims that she has tried to divorce Arafat more than a hundred times, but has been rejected.
At this time, Suha began to create a kind of "victim" persona in front of the media. And she insisted that the Palestinian government had never given her a pension and that she hadn't received a penny.
As for the mansion that Gaddafi gave to him, Suha directly denied it, but said that the villa was rented by himself.
On November 27, 2012, Suha changed his initial confession, believing that her husband Arafat had died of polonium poisoning, and at her strong request, Arafat's body was re-exhumed and tested by Swiss, French, and Russian doctors to confirm whether he had been poisoned by polonium.
The test results were vague, and while Swiss doctors claimed that polonium poisoning was indeed possible, French and Russian doctors said there were no traces of it.
With this incident, Suha again made claims against Israel and testing agencies, and began to insist that Arafat was poisoned. However, the European Court of Human Rights ultimately did not take her word, and Suha's appeal in 2021 ultimately failed. We believe that
From beginning to end, Suha is just a liar who constantly teases the public bottom line, constantly consuming his deceased husband for his own benefit.
Arafat was a prominent Palestinian statesman and a good leader, and it is not a sad thing to leave a widow like Suha after his death.
