Recently, there has been speculation about Yasser Arafat's death whether he died from natural causes or he was poisoned 8 years ago. Yasser Arafat is known to be Palestinian leader, and was the leader of Fatah political party. He was seen as a freedom fighter, and at times viewed as terrorist by Israelis for many bombing incidents that has been happening in the past.
Many has question the actual reason of his death, whether he died from natural causes or maybe he died from poisoning. His body was later then exhumed for causes of his death. According to Ashely Fantz of CNN, "Tests are being performed on those samples for the presence of polonium-- a toxic, radioactive element found on some of his personal belongings earlier this year." He died at the age of 75 in Paris in 2004, and the cause of his death remained unsolved. The Palestinian swears that the Israeli is involved with Arafat's death, but according to Kershner from New York Times stated that the Israeli have denied that they are involve with his death, and the accusation that they have received are untrue.
I hope that they can put this aside because once false accusation are made, I am almost certain that it will cause more tension between the two countries that has been fighting for so long. I believe trying to solve their current issue is far more important then finding out the cause of Arafat's death because he had passed a way years ago, and they should let him rest in peace instead of adding more issue to their current problems.
(LATE WORK)
