I didn’t take money from Palestine, says Suha Arafat, the widow of former Chairman of the Palestinian Authority and the PLO Yasser Arafat. Speaking in an interview with Egyptian journalist Wael Al Abrashi she said, “I didn’t take lands from the state of Palestine.”
Arafat, who is currently residing in Malta, has been accused of stealing donation money from the Palestinian Authority. “After working for Palestine for 50 years, does Arafat not deserve to build a playground for his daughter in Tunisia? I am not ashamed of that but, others came and took over. It’s the only investment he did for Zahwa and I have the papers to prove it.”
“He didn’t buy her jewelry or build her factories, just a little playground in Tunisia. I have nothing to hide. Yasser Arafat is the one who ordered the playground to be built.”
I can understand why Yasser Arafat ordered it. After all, he reportedly had a thing for children’s playgrounds.
The interview also exposed Arafat’s only daughter, Zahwa, for the first time. Although she was present during one part of the interview, her mother made sure Zahwa would not utter a sound. “She wants to be a lawyer. Having seen what they did to me, she has absolutely no interest in politics,” Suha noted, adding that her daughter loves literature and art.
At one point in the interview, Zahwa presented Suha with her report card. This caused Arafat to become emotional and she said had Zahwa’s father been alive he would have been proud.
In an Israellycool exclusive, we got our hands on the report card.
