<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="01" data-track="3" > Middle Eastern legend, killed in Paris</h1>
2004.11.11, 11:58, I don't know if it was a coincidence or a secret arrangement, on the night of 6 1s, Arafat in Paris actually ended his legendary life and the historical mission of the political strongman.
There are various theories about the cause of his death, and there are three reasons that are widely circulated:
Reason 1: First, the assassination of Israel
Arafat is a thorn in Israel's eye, and Israeli personnel have publicly revealed that they want to get rid of it quickly, so it is understandable that people blame Israel for the first cause of Arafat's death.
Reason 2: Infighting within the Palestinian seizure of power
Palestine is not monolithic, and the struggle between the various factions is extremely fierce, so it is understandable to blame Arafat's death on internal strife.
Reason 3: Arafat contracted AIDS
This claim comes mainly from Arafat's personal doctors, and there is no factual evidence.
So what exactly was the cause of Arafat's death? Let's look at these reports a few years later and we might have the answer:
On July 10, 2012, a medical specialized agency in Switzerland announced that a remnant of the radioactive element polonium had been found in Arafat's relics.
On October 13, 2013, the world's most authoritative medical science journal, the British Lancet, published an article introducing the investigation report given by relevant researchers from Switzerland, which believed that Arafat died of poisoning of the radioactive element polonium 210.
On November 8, 2013, Palestinian officials confirmed that their late former leader Arafat had died "unnaturally."
From the above information, it can be basically confirmed that Arafat died of murder (of course, there is another way to deny this), as to who carried out this murder, it is only left to history to judge, but no matter what the reason for Arafat's death, his historical position in Palestine in the Middle East in the world cannot be erased, and his historical contribution to the Palestinian people is also undeniable.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="02" data-track="42" > 34-year-old wife</h1>
marry:
In 1990, Arafat, who was 61 years old at the time, married Suha at the age of 27, which surprised many people who believed in Arafat, because Arafat had always been a single figure, and Arafat had vowed to dedicate his life and everything to his homeland and never get married again, so his marriage to Suha was equivalent to punching himself in the face.
At that time, the Palestinian people generally did not like this marriage, and there were even rumors that the reason why Suha married Arafat at that time was that her mother wanted to control Arafat to make such an arrangement, and this marriage also brought a lot of influence to Arafat, and his political image was once greatly affected, and Soho also mentioned this in his later autobiography:
"I married a legendary hero, and the marriage made him go down the temple and become a man."
No one knows the real reason why Suha married Alphat, maybe it is for pure love, maybe it is for the beauty to love heroes, of course, maybe for money and fame, after Suha and Arafat married, her life became extremely luxurious, and after Alphat's death, Suha also attached great importance to the struggle for property, so it is not difficult to see, whether Suha married Arafat is really out of money and fame, but at least money accounts for a large proportion of this marriage, which should be recognized by everyone.
Ladies of France:
It is not known for what purpose Suha married Arafat, but it is true that Hasselblad was indeed extravagant after marriage, and it can also be seen that money was an important factor in their marriage, as can be seen in Arafat's serious illness and Hasselblad's performance after his death.
After marriage, Suha often travels between Palestine and Paris, France, spending an average of $100,000 a month, so much so that some Palestinian officials describe Suha as "the noble lady of France", which may have an element of praise, but it is more of an irony.
Arafat became seriously ill and suha after his death:
During Arafat's treatment in Paris, France, Suha controlled everything, he controlled the release of Arafat's illness and decided who could visit, she was also anxious to get Arafat to make a will, and in order to be able to get Arafat's inheritance after Arafat's death, Suha had cut off Arafat from the outside world.
Suha tried to inherit Arafat's entire estate, which is said to be a large sum of about $6 billion or so, but the Asfat officials in charge of the matter at the time negotiated with Suha, who believed that Arafat's life and all his property belonged to the Palestinian state and could not be inherited by Suha.
After a tug-of-war and long-term negotiation, the two sides finally reached an agreement that Suha could receive a lump sum of $20 million and a certain amount of living expenses per month, but only if she could no longer participate in Palestinian politics or make public statements about the matter.
Tunisia's Getaway Days:
Suha lived a very relaxed and comfortable life in Sunis, was also a guest of the president, and there were even rumors that Suha was secretly married to President Tonis, and it seemed that the woman who was indeed the king could only go to the king.
But no matter how Suha can marry the legendary Affat and actively participate in public affairs, which is already a legend in Palestine, who can tell the merits between her and Arafat?
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="03" data-track="106" > the other 2 women of the king</h1>
In addition to the Suha we mentioned above, although Arafat ostensibly vowed not to marry for life, before that, as an ordinary man, Arafat also had seven passions and six desires, and he had two other women:
King's Woman 1 - A mysterious woman without any information:
In 1958, Affat went to Kuwait to start his own business, and through his own hard work and serious efforts, he became a successful businessman, bought a car villa, and at the same time quietly accumulated strength for the revolutionary cause in Palestine, and it was at this time that his love budded.
During the time he worked, Arafat met his first love, an unforgettable, unforgettable love story, when the successful career of Arafat is very attractive to women's attention, but he put most of his energy into the revolutionary cause, rejected the kindness of many women, it is said that Arafat had a heart at that time, according to the later Memories of Arafat's comrades-in-arms, when in Kuwait Arafat had a mysterious first love, they loved unforgettable, but Arafat for the cause of Palestine liberation By forbearing love and giving up one's own personal love, it can be seen that any revolutionary cause is not smooth sailing, but is also the result of various sacrifices.
King's Woman 2 - A widowed woman of the PLO
While working at the PLO headquarters in Beirut, Arafat met a fair-skinned, brown-haired girl named Nada Jarus, who, although a graduate of the American University in Beirut, was determined to fight for the cause of her native Palestine for the rest of her life, and it was because of this ambition that he married a fatah leader, but unfortunately her husband was killed in a car accident.
In 1971, Arafat met Nada by chance, the bud of love was happening, and the good feelings for each other were strengthening, but unfortunately, in the 1975 civil war in Lebanon, Nada was assassinated when she returned to her residence from the presidential palace.
Arafat, who heard the news, was devastated and closed the door for a while, and when he later revealed it to his comrades-in-arms, he said that he had proposed to Nada at that time, and Nada agreed to marry him, and a beautiful marriage ended unexpectedly.
The battered Arafat no longer had the desire to find a woman in the days that followed, until suha appeared.

On July 25, 1994, Israeli Prime Minister Rabin and Jordanian King Hussein signed the Washington Declaration in Washington, D.C., on October 26, the two countries signed a peace treaty, and the state of hostility that lasted for more than 50 years was declared over, and on November 27, the two countries declared the establishment of diplomatic relations, which benefited from the joint efforts and mediation of Rabin Affit and Perez, and peace in the Middle East took another major step forward, thanks to this historic contribution. Arafat Peres and Rabin were awarded the 1994 Nobel Peace Prize.
Regarding this award, one of the laureates, Perez, once spoke at an international peace seminar held in Israel and spoke highly of Arafat's role in the Middle East peace process, saying that Arafat openly recognized Israel with an unprecedented pioneering spirit, so Arafat's award is well deserved.

<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="06" data-track="138" > disputed Palestinian legend</h1>
Arafat's life is quite controversial, most people think that Arafat is a Palestinian hero, the father of Palestine, a tenacious fighter and an outstanding leader, a small strong man who cannot be killed; there is also an argument that Arafat is the backstage and supporter of the chaotic elements, does not pay attention to credibility, is fickle and despicable, is a typical politician, plays with the lives of the Palestinian people, brings turmoil to the Middle East, and is the enemy of Palestine.
Both of these arguments have their own market, perhaps because the evaluators stand in different positions and look at the problem from different angles.
