Suha Arafat, his wife of 13 years and mother of his daughter, seems to have aligned herself with hard-liners who apparently seek to take over the Palestinian leadership in a post-Arafat era, though some Palestinian officials said her motives are more financial. According to a senior official in Arafat's office, she has received monthly payments of $100,000 from Palestinian coffers and is widely believed to have control of vast funds collected by the PLO.
This year, French prosecutors launched a money-laundering probe into transfers of $11.4 million into her accounts. She has refused to talk to reporters about Palestinian finances. Suha Arafat, 41, lives in Paris and has not been to the West Bank or seen her husband since the latest round of Palestinian violence began in 2000.
Some Palestinians have complained Suha Arafat has gained too much power, as she controls the flow of information about her husband's condition and has taken charge of access to the ailing leader.
"She is not part of the Palestinian leadership," Arafat security adviser Jibril Rajoub told Israel's Channel Two TV.

Man, she's packed it on since nibbling on Hillary in that photo-op.
Looks like Mrs John Edwards.
THIS is "Babe" 
I sure hope I never find out!
BTT
she sure porked up since that pic of her kissing hitlery.
I wouldn't give a plugged nickel for her life is she crosses the wrong people in the Palesitian hierarchy. Those people have a way of dealing with those they are upset with and it ain't pretty (much like Suha's face).
She simply needs to be deloused!
Here Here! The childlish attitudes exhibited by many on this site throw us all into a slime bucket. Shame.

GOP Jews air ads showing first lady kissing Arafat's wife
MICHAEL SHAPIRO
Jewish Telegraphic Agency
WASHINGTON -- The political fallout from Hillary Rodham Clinton's perceived misstep in Ramallah is not going away. Images of the first lady sitting silently while Suha Arafat, the wife of the Palestinian Authority president, accused Israel of poisoning Palestinians have been playing on television screens in New York and Washington this week -- thanks to Jewish Republicans.
It took the First Lady 24 hours to issue her criticism of Arafat, saying inflammatory remarks could damage the peace process. "Everyone who supports this effort toward resolving the outstanding issues among the parties should refrain from inflammatory rhetoric and from baseless accusations," said Clinton, who also suggested that she did not respond immediately to Arafat's comments because they were not as harsh in the English translation she had heard.
Still, that incident also has led to a Jewish Democratic state senator's decision to endorse Clinton's likely opponent, Rudolph Giuliani, in their still unofficial race for the U.S. Senate seat from New York.
Sen. Carl Kruger of Brooklyn threw his support behind the New York City mayor Tuesday at a City Hall news conference. Howard Wolfson, the spokesman for Clinton's exploratory committee, dismissed Kruger's support for Giuliani, saying Kruger supported Giuliani's mayorial bid in 1997. Naming prominent Jewish Democrats from New York who are backing Clinton, such as Sen. Charles Schumer, Rep. Nita Lowey and Rep. Jerold Nadler, Wolfson said "they know she is a strong supporter of a safe and secure Israel at peace with its neighbors."
On Tuesday, attempting to end speculation that she is having second thoughts about running, Clinton reportedly told people close to her that she will run for the Senate seat. Recent polls have shown that Clinton is not faring as well with Jewish voters as most Democratic candidates normally do. A poll by the Quinnipiac College Polling Institute showed Clinton garnering 46 percent of the Jewish vote with Giuliani receiving 43 percent, a statistical dead heat. "Jewish voters are split, troubling news for any Democratic candidate," said Maurice Carroll, director of the institute.
A New York Post/Zogby International poll indicates that more than 50 percent of Jewish voters think the first lady should not run. Jews normally represent 12 percent of the state's general election vote and 25 percent of the Democratic vote.
The commercial, paid for by the Republican Jewish Coalition, criticizes Clinton for not immediately refuting charges leveled by Arafat that Israeli forces used poisonous gas against Palestinians, leading to an increase in cancer. Arafat also claimed during the Nov. 11 event, with Clinton sitting at her side, that Israel had contaminated 80 percent of Palestinian water sources with "chemical materials."....
The ad, with ominous music in the background, shows a stony-faced Clinton sitting beside Arafat as she spoke and then shows Clinton and Arafat embracing at the end of Arafat's speech. A narrator says: "With Hillary Clinton at her side, Suha Arafat made the false and disgraceful claim that Israel was poisoning Palestinian women and children with toxic gases. Instead of reacting with outrage, Hillary Clinton sat by silently.
"When Arafat was finished, Hillary gave her a hug and a kiss. It's sad. While Israel sacrifices for peace, Arafat spreads hatred and lies -- and Hillary embraces her. Tell Hillary Clinton, stand up for Israel -- stand up for truth." Wolfson, the spokesman for Clinton's exploratory committee, criticized the ad and suggested that Giuliani's camp was behind it.
Giuliani, who like Clinton has yet to announce his candidacy, has criticized the first lady over the Arafat incident. "I certainly wouldn't have embraced the person that said it -- hugged them and kissed them."
Matthew Brooks, the executive director of the RJC, said the ad was produced by the group and had nothing to do with Giuliani's possible Senate campaign. Brooks said his group is spending $50,000 to run the ads because of its concern over Clinton's failure to quickly respond to Arafat's charges. This is the first time the group has paid for such television ads.

The EU will give her money. They give it to the PLO now. EU taxpayers don't mind.
Looks like Yasser Arafat is a sex pervert too.
She looks like a bulked up Boy George
"She was decently raised as a Christian, and married that pig, knowing full well what he was. Or do you think she married him for love?"
That's my point...I don't know the woman and I'm not prepared to cast the first stone or join the mob that throws the stones. She is what we referred to in the old days as a "non-combatant."
Are you serious?
That pig has been complicit in the making of countless widows, and much more.
Do you have any concept of what Yasser Arafat is renowned for? That pig married a terrorist, and has been living fat off of funds which were intended for so called Palestinian refugees. She is total scum!
Does she have any other ancestry? She has red hair and really light skin for an Arab.
The only thing that matters is that she is a terrorism supporter and embezzler. She has the blood and the suffering of many on her hands. Would you like her better if she looked like a supermodel? What difference does it make how fat she is unless you are planning to have sex with her? Stick to important criticisms.
