At some point, the leaders even warned her that if she would refuse to sign the papers, “The Palestinian people all over the world will never give you peace and quiet”. That must be their version of Arkancide.

“Eventually the money was divided up”, one official noted. “Agreements were signed. The Palestinian leaders understood that in order to put their hands on the fortune and get rid of Suha, they would be better off paying her handsomely”. I'm not sure why it wouldn't have been better for the Palestinians to have paid her nothing at all. Unless, of course, she could have blackmailed some of their leaders...

Arafat ... was heavily invested in US real estate projects. This might be worth some of the pajamahadeen's valuable time.

Suha told the PA leaders that she was in need of financial security that would allow her to continue living on the same level she had been used to. “We will allow you to live on the same level”, one of the senior leaders told her, “But you must sign an agreement and reveal all of your husband’s bank accounts and investments, and enable the transfer of the funds that belong to the PA. Do not rob this money from the Palestinian people”. 22 million annually for the rest of her life? i think suha now needs bodily security!
also, when arafat was alive, nobody dared confront him about money that rightfully belonged to the PA. now that he is dead, everyone wants a piece of the action. the only rational is that he had a huge following of hate mongers who would have protected him if any underling raised this issue. palestinian peace, ... no way.

According to Israeli intelligence sources, Arafat was worth almost a quarter of a billion dollars. He had many houses around the world and was heavily invested in US real estate projects.
It does make one think.
Where is the property located?
What is stored there?
How many terrorists are living on the property?
How does he get the profit from the rentals back to the terrorists?

"she received a considerable portion of Arafat’s fortune"
That must have been the $60 million which showed up in her account the day after her meeting. With the $22 million a year to live on - I hope it's not too stressful for her.
