Former Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat’s widow, Suha Arafat, believes her late husband is the only who could have brought peace.
"Many say that my husband was an obstacle to peace. We saw, after his death, what happened to peace," she said on Wednesday, speaking to the Italian daily La Repubblica on the 10th anniversary of her husband’s death.
"History will tell whether Arafat was right to declare the Intifada,” Arafat, who lives in Malta with her daughter, told the newspaper upon being asked about the “armed resistance” advocated by her husband.
“But now we have millions of refugees. We must protect our children. It's easy to make war, difficult to stop it. The armed struggle today will not lead to anything more. We will only end up crushed. The forces are unequal. We have to continue negotiations, proving, if anything, that Israel does not want peace," she added.
In the interview, Arafat’s widow also referred to the tension between Hamas and Fatah, after Fatah cancelled ceremonies in Gaza marking the 10th anniversary of Arafat's death due to security concerns.
"My husband was the only one capable of unifying the various Palestinian factions," she said, adding, "Hamas did not have the right to ban the memorial for the Arafat. It is unacceptable. And anyway, nothing can erase the memory of Arafat. It is in the heart of all Palestinians."

Suha Arafat Jen Psaki, two foghorns in Cloud of stupid gas
Must be time for the renewal/renegotiation of her payoff...
He had ALL the money!
Didn’t she collect enough American taxpayer money from Jimmah Cahtah ?
LOL. She is out of her tree. I thoroughly approved when that POS assumed room temperature.
Suha must be thinking about trying to become a comedian.
Arafat backed down at the last minute each time any ‘agreement’ was imminent. He had no interest in ‘peace’ — it would not pay as well.
Does Suha need the money from a comedic gig? Has she already spent the several $billion Hubby left her?
Did Suha ever get the Swiss bank account numbers before Yasser kicked the bucket? Inquiring minds want to know!
Dig him up, he couldn’t possibly look much worse than he did before they buried him!
Only Ringo could bring peace to the Beatles.
That thieving Pederast? I doubt it...
No doubt Hillary will soon follow up to give Suha another hug and a kiss.
"He choose unwisely."
Notice that she lives nowhere near Gaza.

Could have, but he turned down the Camp David accords. As did Abbas with the Ohlmert offer. Israel has to disappear, those are the terms.
Jeremiah 6:14
They cry peace, peace when there is no peace.
The only peace for Islam is the total surrender of Israel, of Rome and of the monoliths China and Russia.
Then there will be peace, the peace of Allah.
