On November 11, 2004, Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat died at the age of 75 in a hospital in Paris. Who for more than four decades embodied the resistance of his people fighting tirelessly for the creation of an independent Palestinian State. After the farewell ceremony in France, his remains were transferred to the Egyptian city of Cairo.
His death occurred under strange circumstances, but the questions raised presume that he was poisoned with polonium by order of the State of Israel. This was detected after his remains were exhumed by a group of Swiss scientists, who presented a report that detailed levels of radioactive polonium-210 18 times higher than normal in samples taken from the body of the historic Palestinian leader.
This tireless fighter since the United Nations (UN) decided to divide Palestine into 56% for the Israelis and 43% for the Palestinians, joined the armed movements that tried to do justice to the Western invasion. That is why in 1970 Yasser Arafat was appointed General in Chief of the Palestinian Revolutionary Forces, in recognition of his leadership and perseverance in the fight against the State of Israel.
In the same way, Arafat promoted the Palestinian Student Union and the Al Fatah movement, which would be the background of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), with which he fought for more than 15 years to get Arab countries and the UN to recognize it as the only and legitimate authority representing the Palestinian people.
Without a doubt, Arafat, through his tireless struggle, maintained and will maintain his image as one of the most important leaders of the Palestinian resistance to the imperialism of the Israeli State.
