Report on Yasser Arafat’s death to be released

Nasser al-Kidwa, Yasser Arafat’s nephew and the Palestinian ambassador to the United Nations, is going to release a report in Arabic that will tell 'Palestinians' how Arafat died.

Al-Qudwa says the report will answer "many questions," as it is the Palestinian people's right to get a clear answer about how Arafat died. The document has not previously been seen in Arabic.

The report by French doctors describes a platelet disorder and speculates on its cause, al-Qudwa says. The doctors ruled out cancer and an acute infection, he told Ma'an.

A third possibility was poisoning, al-Qudwa says, but the records show that doctors were unable to conclusively determine what poison, if any, was in Arafat's system.

"We have said that it is poisoning," he hinted, israelmatzav reports.
