And she considered in an interview with the Hebrew newspaper that her husband went on the path of terrorism by igniting the 2000 Al-Aqsa Intifada 0 after former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque.
Suha told the newspaper that Yasser Arafat was definitely poisoned, but by a Palestinians and not “Israel”.
She added, everyone believed that “Israel” was guilty, but I am not accusing it. I’ve always said that it’s too easy to say “Israel”, but I don’t think the Israelis killed Arafat. If they are, then we have been taking revenge on them for hundreds of years.”
She believes that Arafat should not have returned to the terror, adding “There are others who were more murderers than Arafat, and Yasser really mourned and deeply grieved for the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin. Except that he was obsessed with hatred for Sharon”
