Zakhva, an 18-year-old girl, already has a fatherly charm between her eyebrows. She settled in Malta with her mother and is studying law at the University of Malta.
Her name is derived from her grandmother, named Zakhva. Although she did not follow the path of politics like her father, her upbringing has always received special attention because of her father.
In an interview with Al Jazeera at a hotel in Paris, Zakhva's quiet, low-key life with her mother made her look a little cramped in front of the camera. She sat next to her mother and listened to the reporter's questions.
When asked if she would express her thoughts and emotions through blogging, as many young people do today, she gave a negative answer. Her mother added to her: "Zakhva prefers to draw and express her emotions through painting. ”
When asked why Zakhva and her mother were stranded in Paris, Zakhva hesitated and said softly: "I am eager to know the truth of the facts and the driving force behind this incident." ”
The mother added: "We didn't consider the ** interview as a top priority. ”
things"In Zakhva's mind was the mystery of her father's death, a news that shocked the world and was known to Al Jazeera reporters. The journalist continued to ask Zakhva: "What do you think about the death of your father?" ”
Because at the moment of the siege of the enemy, Zakhva did not accompany her father and spend the last moments of her life with him, but spent a difficult time with her mother in Cairo, Tunisia and other places.
In the face of her father's death, Zakhva's emotions were aroused again, but for some reason, probably because of her mother's advance warning, she hesitated a little and said in an uncertain tone: "I don't know how to describe my feelings, I feel that my father's death is a blow to me, we seem to have found evidence of his murder, which sounds terrifying, but I hope that in the end we can find out the real culprit." ”
Zakhva's mother interrupted her, saying that Zakhva loved her country very much, but she was afraid that she would say the wrong thing, so she did not dare to say something.
Then, Zakhva's mother diverted the attention of journalists, saying: "Although Zakhva's father died when she was only 8 years old, she helped me a lot by my side.
She went with me to find a defense lawyer and signed the official papers. For a child, this is indeed a difficult task. So, who is Zakhva's father?
What are the implications of his death?
Yasser Arafat, the world-famous legend, was born in Jerusalem in 1929. His father, Yasser Arafat, was the son of a wealthy businessman, and his mother came from a prominent family.
There are six brothers and sisters in Arafat, and he is the sixth in the family. When he was four years old, his mother unfortunately passed away, and his sister took on the responsibility of taking care of his younger siblings, showing great courage and responsibility.
According to the biography of Yasser Arafat by the British author, at the age of 10, he showed unusual organizational skills and independent thinking. He is different from other children, both in terms of play and emotion.
During World War II, he even organized Arab children in his area for drills and severely punished those who disobeyed orders, including beating them with sticks.
In addition, he is passionate about camping in the yard.
At the age of 19, Yasser Arafat's father died heroically in the struggle. In order to carry on the legacy of his father and brother, Yasser Arafat, who was still studying, did not hesitate to choose to join the war and devote himself to the fight against Israel.
After the war, he moved to Gaza with his family and returned to Cairo to continue his studies.
In 1952, Yasser Arafat was elected president of the Palestinian Students' Union and founded a journal on the subject. Four years later, after graduating from Cairo University, he entered the Egyptian Military Academy, which laid a solid foundation for his future development.
In the years that followed, Yasser Arafat devoted himself to leading the Palestinians in their struggle against Israel, organizing secret cells, leading guerrillas, and founding a construction company.
Despite his defeat in the war and forced exile, he remained committed to fighting against Israel in all its forms and served as commander-in-chief of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Palestine.
In 1989, Yasser Arafat was elected as the State of Palestine**; In 1991, although he was no longer young, he decided to accept Israel's peace initiative, and held a series of negotiations with Israel in Madrid and Oslo, among other places; In 1994, Yasser Arafat raised the Nobel Peace Prize trophy on behalf of Palestine and the Israeli Prime Minister, after which he returned to Gaza to start a new settlement life.
Yasser Arafat, the legendary leader of the Palestinian national liberation cause, devoted half his life to winning the legitimate national rights of the Palestinian people. Although the world thought that he would die alone, the hero who was entering old age unexpectedly fell into a new relationship.
02, making waves again: Zakhva pursues the truth about her father's death, and why does Suha bring up the old story again? This woman is none other than Zakhva's mother, Suha Tavir.
Suhabibiasir Arafat is 34 years younger, from a wealthy family, his grandfather was a farmer, owned a vast estate and a castle, his father worked in a bank, and his mother worked in a Palestinian news agency.
Suha Tawil has lived a wealthy life since she was a child, with blonde hair and blue eyes, and a tall and attractive figure. She is passionate about French fashion and studied politics at the University of Paris.
In 1989, Suha met Yasser Arafat in Paris, and Yasser Arafat obtained Suha's consent to make her one of his side.
One day in October 1991, Yasser Arafat suddenly proposed to Suha.
In the face of Yasser Arafat's marriage proposal, Suha felt deeply confused. However, she still did not hesitate to accede to his request. However, what she did not expect was that Yasser Arafat would ask her to keep their marriage a secret.
This request makes Suha's life full of trouble, and she often complains about her marriage, feeling as if she is married to a mysterious man, and although she is married, she lives like a **.
In 1995, Suha gave birth to a special little princess, who was named Zakhva. The name, in honor of Yasser Arafat's mother, who passed away young, is filled with deep love and respect.
Despite Yasser Arafat's exalted position among the Palestinian people, Suha, as the "first lady", is often criticized. The main focus of criticism is that since Zakhva's birth, Suha has been living in France for a long time under the pretext of taking care of her daughter, enjoying a luxurious life.
At a time when many people are in a difficult situation, Suha's mother and daughter are receiving £80,000 a month from Yasser Arafat.
A Palestinian** once mocked Suha, saying that she was just a French noblewoman, not the first lady of Palestine. In response, Suha hit back and revealed the truth, saying that Israel has been using this propaganda trick, in fact, she and her daughter only have $100,000 a month to live on and deal with Palestinian affairs in France.
She told reporters unabashedly that she would give her full support to her son if he grew up willing to fight for Palestinian independence. At the same time, whenever and wherever someone invites her to return to the family, she will immediately return to her husband without hesitation.
With her husband under house arrest for four years and her health deteriorating, Suha dropped everything and returned to her husband's official residence with her daughter to be by her husband's side after a long absence.
However, despite the fact that she has been doing her best to support and care for her husband, ** and the Palestinian masses continue to blame and attack her.
Suha uttered shocking words in front of Al Jazeera's cameras, claiming: "The Palestinian leadership is trying to bury Arafat alive. This remark angered the Palestinian top brass and parts of the population.
The head of the Palestinian parliament, Fatu, openly said to Suha: "Arafat is not your personal belongings, he is all Palestinians." ”
A neighbor who used to live on the same street as Suha revealed another side of Suha in an interview with **. "Suha's return to Palestine is a struggle for power? I don't think so, Suha is not interested in politics, she just values money very much, and she brought Arafat to Paris just to get rich. ”
However, is Suha really just for the money? Others put forward a different view: "Is Suha really uninterested in politics?" Does she realize that one of her words has sparked the worst power struggle in the post-Arafat era in Palestine? ”
The news of Yasser Arafat's death shocked the world, and his wife, Suha, the protagonist of an inheritance dispute, filed a lawsuit against Palestine for her and her daughter's property shortly after her husband's death.
What the truth is, perhaps only Suha himself knows.
Suha handed over Yasser Arafat's clothes to Al Jazeera, hoping that the station would provide them to a physical institute in Switzerland for testing.
The test results showed that the clothing contained enough radioactive elements to kill 20 people. However, at the critical moment of whether to continue to investigate the truth of Yasser Arafat's death, Suha suddenly announced to the outside world as Yasser Arafat's widow that the autopsy of Yasser Arafat would be stopped, making the cause of Yasser Arafat's death mysterious.
Eight years later, Suha and her daughter, who had been expelled from Tunisia, chose to settle in Malta and renewed their request for an autopsy on the late Yasser Arafat.
Although Zakhva's goal is to find the truth about her father's death, Suha has refused to investigate years ago and now regrets it. People speculate that this may have something to do with two things.
The first is that Palestine, after failing to apply for membership in the United Nations, turned to the status of an "observer state". They succeeded in convincing Suha to use the cause of Yasser Arafat's death to bring international attention back to it.
As a result, on the third day after the opening of the General Assembly, the United Nations adopted a draft resolution on the status of Palestine, recognizing it as an "observer State". The second is financial-related issues.
Suha is accustomed to a life of luxury and is not satisfied with the current "ordinary days". She plans to use Yasser Arafat's widow to secure more pensions and expenses for interviews and departures.
Although her motives may be unknown, it is undeniable that her actions will once again set off a great storm of unknowns and uncertainties between Palestine and Israel.
The cause of Yasser Arafat's death has long been a mystery, and if he did die of poisoning, there would be a strong reaction from both the Palestinians and Israelis and within the Palestinians.
In fact, speculation about the cause of his death has been circulating since his death. There are three most common theories: one is that he died of a viral infection, because during his captivity, his living environment was very harsh, and it was easy for him to be infected with the virus in his old age and frailty.
However, his French doctor said that he had been examined and ruled out the possibility of a viral infection.
Second, Suha raised the poisoning theory, and although she had given up, she had now brought it up again. The person who best supported her view was Yasser Arafat's personal physician during his lifetime.
Yasser Arafat had shown symptoms such as stomach pain, kidney pain, a gradual decrease in the number of platelets, and red spots on his face, the doctor said, all typical symptoms of poisoning.
However, this claim needs to be further investigated. Third, the AIDS theory was put forward by the president of the Israel Society of Blood. He relied on the medical report of Yasser Arafat from the French hospital.
In the context of Suha and Zakhva's recent call for a re-investigation into Yasser Arafat's death, the authoritative British magazine The Lancet published an article pointing out that Yasser Arafat's clothes contained a large amount of radioactive material, and refuting people's doubts one by one, making the matter even more confusing.
What is even more puzzling, however, is that the Swiss side, which had promised to release the results of the autopsy in September, has not fulfilled its promise, causing a wave of concern among the Palestinian population.
Perhaps the Switzerland's intentions were based on their concern that this would have a negative impact on the Palestinian-Israeli peace talks, but their good intentions led to recriminations and self-justification between the Palestinians and Israelis and within the Palestinians, further exacerbating tensions.
It is foreseeable that even if Yasser Arafat's death is confirmed to be poisoning, even if there is no conclusive evidence of Israel's involvement in this assassination, it may hinder the Palestinian-Israeli peace process and may even lead to the occurrence of new large-scale bloodshed.
French experts have released autopsy evidence revealing that Yasser Arafat did not die of poisoning. In response, Suha said that he would continue to seek a fair ruling from the French judiciary, while the Israeli side hoped that the dispute would end as soon as possible.
France concluded an investigation into Yasser Arafat's death in 2015, and no one has been charged or prosecuted. Still, the cause of Arafat's death remains an unsolved mystery, and he passed away with a mystery that may never be answered.
Arafat's death has been a source of mystery, and his widow, Suha, inherited his vast inheritance and became the richest woman in Palestine. However, the results of the investigation in this case were disappointing, and the law announced that the investigation had been stopped, and no suspects have been prosecuted so far.
