Tunisian president revokes Suha Arafat’s citizenship following rumors of affair with married brother-in-law, business disputes with Tunisian partners

Suha Arafat, widow of former Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat, has had her Tunisian citizenship revoked, according to recent reports by several Arab media channels.

Arafat, widow of former Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat, was said to have fled to Malta with her daughter last month. Presidential sources kept Arafat’s hasty departure secret, and the Tunisian government was vague about the reason behind her losing her citizenship.

According to the London based al-Quds al-Arabi, Tunisian President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali withdrew Arafat's naturalized status in a special decree last week. “The Tunisian citizenship granted to Suha Daoud Tawil, who was born in Jerusalem on July 17, 1963, is to be revoked," the decree stated.

Arafat was granted Tunisian citizenship in September 2006 after having moved there with her daughter following her husband’s death in 2004.

Although the Tunisian government did not state a reason for revoking the citizenship, sources in the local justice system said Arafat lost her "moral and material rights".

The presidential decision to annul Arafat’s naturalized status was speculated to be in connection wit her rumored affair with the president’s married brother-in-law.

Reports of the affair began last summer, when Arafat was said to have secretly married the president’s brother-in-law, Lahasn al-Trabulsi. Arafat vehemently denied the reports, and threatened to take legal action against those distributing them.

Al Quds al-Arabi said the reason for Arafat’s departure was a business dispute with her partners in Tunisia. Neither Arafat, nor the Tunisian government, have confirmed the report.

I wonder if she doing that because she fearing Arafat gave her gift before he died

Now that she's been kicked out of Tunisia, don't be surprised if Suha comes into the US to help The Witch campaign in Dearborn.

And if the disaster of a HRC presidency should come about, she would find a comfortable place to stay in the Lincoln Bedroom, where she could afford the rent.

With her money, she’ll have no problem finding another paramour. All those good Euros donated by European tax payers will help her keep a gigolo on hand.

The Tunisian prez didn’t want his brother-in-law to die from AIDS contracted from AIDS carrier Suha.

I still remember Suha from the good ol’ Yasser death watch weeks. Apparently she wouldn’t pull the plug or release the corpse until she was guaranteed some megabucks to maintain her in the state she had grown accustomed to. ‘Touching’ wasn’t the word for it, macabre or grotesque come closer.:)
