On November 11, 2004, Yasser Arafat, President of the Palestinian Authority, died at Percy hospital in Clamart. Carried away by a mysterious illness in a few weeks, the Palestinian leader surrendered after a veritable media storm. In 2012, a renowned Swiss laboratory concluded that it was poisoning. Souha Arafat, his widow, filed a complaint against X in France with the Nanterre court. A careful investigation carried out in the West Bank, Israel and Switzerland is now trying to establish the truth about the circumstances of his death. Palestinian and Israeli officials, close friends or implacable enemies, testify.
