Tuesday, November 11, Suha Arafat's French lawyers and former Palestinian prime minister Mahmoud Abbas struck a deal.
The settlement allowed a funeral to be arranged on 'Orphans Friday' of Ramadan, November 12--unless a new crisis pops up. Our sources have seen some of the principal terms of the Palestinian accord with Suha Arafat.
The widow will attend the funeral. Abu Mazen insisted on her following the Palestinian leaders bier for sake of appearances.
Last July, Yassir Arafat sent his wife $11 million to cover her 'living expenses' and those of her daughter for six months-$1.8 million per month. The new accord guarantees her the same allowance from the Palestinian Authority as a regular annual remittance, $22 million per annum for the rest of her life.
Abu Mazen and Abu Ala signed on the dotted line, although they have no notion how the peniless Palestinian Authority faced with people in dire poverty can possibly raise that kind of money. (without Arafat's rumoured 9 Billion in embezzled Swiss bank account numbers, supposedly known only to him)
Debkafile's global security sources offer an exclusive peek at Suha Arafat's lifestyle in the French capital. She owns a tony villa on one of the most elegantly posh streets in the world, Rue Fatborg St. Honore, while also maintaining a lavish private suite at the Hotel De Bristol, which claims to outclass the Paris Ritz, the Four Seasons and even the George V Hotel.
The upkeep of this Bristol suite she maintains for 'business' was included in her widows 'pension' from the PA.

1.8 Million ... Lead Pazoookas!!!
(Obscure refference from an old "Popeye" cartoon)
Well, they've got to make up for the lost Oil For Food income somehow...
That's outrageous.
lmao! There's a new rich widow on the market.. depending on how long she lives, she could be richer than Mama T
Too bad for her, Theresa has more money... or J Effin K would be all over this hoe.
She looks like Miss Piggy.
Why not??? The Americans will put up with it and it's our tax dollars she just bargained for...
22 million a year is small change compared to controlling her portion of 5-6 billion of the crooked Pali estate..I doubt Arafat is in any conditions to reveal the bank account numbers on his deathbed
I agree, if the Palestinians tell her to get lost - what can she do? Write a book perhaps - doesn't everyone?
They'll renege. Just like they renege on every agreement they've ever signed.

Wow! Definitely "not" what I expected. I wonder if the relationship was purely for financial reasons. He could pay her for her secrecy or some other weird tin-foil hat thing which I haven't thought of yet. LOL
Gee, down in South Florida you used to be able to get a Colombian hitman to whack somebody for $500 (everybody needs to eat lunch, you know). I don't think the PLO has worked out the economics of this yet.......
"Hello, Suha? This is Senator John Kerry from the United States, calling to offer my.....condolences. What are you doing this weekend?"
FWIW, I've always thought she looked like a guy in drag. And I rather figured that was part of the attraction.
