Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat is to be taken to Paris for treatment as concern grows over his health, his doctors have said.Fifteen doctors, including local physicians and specialists from Jordan, Tunisia and Egypt, examined Arafat and decided he would be able to get the best treatment in Paris, one of the doctors said.
It will be the first time that Mr Arafat will have left his compound in Ramallah in nearly three years.
Israeli officials had already confirmed that Mr Arafat would be allowed to travel overseas to receive treatment.
Mr Arafat, 75, has suffered stomach pains since last week, but his health deteriorated on Wednesday and there have been claims that he lost consciousness.
Doctors have spent a long time examining him, and initial reports suggest that he has a blood disorder.
Mr Arafat has reportedly spent most of the day sleeping, and has been having trouble keeping food down.
Meanwhile, his wife Suha has arrived in the West Bank, having travelled from France.She has not seen her husband since a Palestinian revolt against Israel broke out in 2000.
Mr Arafat had earlier said there was no cause for concern over his health.
Munib al-Masri, a businessman close to Arafat, saw the Palestinian leader and said: "The president wants to tell the Palestinian people and the whole world that he is OK and there is no need to worry about him."
Mr Arafat had an exploratory operation earlier this week after suffering stomach pains and vomiting.
Doctors carried out an endoscopy, an investigative procedure in which a small scope is inserted into the body.
Questions about Mr Arafat's health have raised Palestinian fears of a bloody power struggle after his death. He has never picked a successor.
Won't that make him "A Free Man in Paris?"
Paris, huh? How apropos.
What are the odds he will be allowed to return.
He won't last a week.
They'd probably pay it cheerfully. They love Jew killers.
is arafat the October surprise???
who moves in Hamas , Hizbollah??
you know both campaigns are preparing their statements for when he croaks
That's were he's stashed his $$$$$
Maybe not breaking news. If so, please remove from "breaking news" section. First Amman now Paris. France? What a surprise! (sarcasm)
Gee, what happened to Jordan?
He's a dead man. His wife and daughter live in the lap of luxury in Paris. He's taking him to them to die.
The farther his body is from Israel the better.
Will he be allowed back for burial? I certainly hope not.
Quit getting my hopes up.
Two words: Missile malfunction.
Arafat goes to his spiritual homeland.
true.

Suha will be happy to care for him...
I wonder if he was poisoned?
Amen.
He can be buried next to Satre.
I thought about that as well. If anyone could accomplish that task, the Mossad could.
"He won't last a week."
I believe you are right. He is dying. Just how long he will hang on to his aging carcass we can't know, but I think not long. I wonder if AIDS is considered a "blood disorder?"
Will he be allowed there with that dishcloth he wears on his head?
At least he can continue NOT bathing or brushing his teeth if he is in France!!! Good riddance you little piece of scumb or as TAReeza would say "Scumbag"!!
---I wonder if he was poisoned?---
Perish the thought! :^)
He is going to France---that's appropriate!
France's fearless leader, jock strap, want to kiss his butt one more time before he goes to meet his 72 virgins
Never let it be said that France does not look after its allies!
He can leave but Israel never said he could come back. :)

"Some Palestinian officials said Arafat has been
unconscious virtually ever since; others said he
has been slipping in and out of consciousness.
Still others said he was conscious, but delirious."
Take your pick.
Good!
Chiraq will hold his hand with one hand and steal his wallet with his other hand.
Arafat will not be coming back. Even if Israel were to permit his return, he will not be able to keep control of the PA in his absense. The only thing keeping the more radical factions of his terrorist claque from taking over was that nobody wanted bloody hands. Now with him out of the way in Paris, that problem is neatly solved.
As for Arafat, where would you rather spend your declining years? Sitting on a pile of rubble in Ramallah or sitting on a pile of money in Paris?
Arafat has alcohol poisoning..
Yes, his spiritual homeland where they'll want to give him a state funeral. It is so appropriate that they are taking him there, and if Israel has any sanity at all they will never allow his putrid corpse to be returned to the territories for any sort of burial - especially not at the Temple Mount!!!!!!
I predicted this last night:
Arafat will be pronounced dead sometime in the early evening hours (Eastern Time) on Nov. 2, Election day.
Due to election coverage, the MSM will give his death only a passing mention until the following day.
Does Tubby have his billions stashed in a French bank? Paribas maybe?
Anyone know if he's been promised right of reentry? I hope not.
Will Kerry go to visit him?
"As for Arafat, where would you rather spend your declining years? Sitting on a pile of rubble in Ramallah or sitting on a pile of money in Paris?"
Hmm, that is the ultimate lose-lose situation.
Quick, scramble the bombers!!! There aren't any "friendlies" in Paris so fire at will!
Why don't they just have him die already? Why waste time helping this abhorrent excuse of a person?
I hope he does not suffer too long and death comes swiftly; very swiftly, without delay, before sunset would be fine, please.
Destroy his compound.
The frogs love jew killers
