Report: French police probe transfer of $7m from PA to Suha Arafat

[drdon326]

The Wall Street Journal reported predawn on Thursday that French police were probing a transfer of 4 million dollars from the Palestinian Authority's Tunisian bank account to the private account of Suha Arafat, the widow of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat.

The funds were reportedly transferred by a senior Palestinian official who was charged with the PA's financial affairs and who died last week.

Palestinian officials are examining whether the money was transferred through two companies who held reserves of funds for the PA, for crisis situations.

The top financial official was the head of one of the companies, and according to the report Suha Arafat had been involved in backing the company.

1. Poor Suha

Hey, it's not cheap living in Paris. Her hotel bill alone is $100,000 per month. Perhaps she'll discuss the plight of the poor starving Palestinians over a nice bottle of red wine and fresh goat's milk cheese with some officials from the EU.

Free Suha.

3. Over the years,

the Palestinians have received an enormous amount of money in compensation and assistance, and where has it gone? Maybe now that Arafat is also gone, we will finally find out.

Considering all the money that has gone to them, the Palestinians should have a much higher standard of living than they claim to have. It is evident that the relief aid given to their leaders has not been spent to improve the lot of the people. Some of the countries around Palestine welcome Palestinians only as guest workers to be exploited.

4. Arafat had reportedly ripped off $ 4 BILLION dollars.

5. So what happens to all the money? I've read the Palestinian

people are gifted widely, through charitable donations from around the world.

Yet, I read about their terrible economy, Fatah gunmen are holding up the PA offices in search of JOBS, it's terrible. And this is not to mention the people in camps, in Lebanon as well as in the OT.

This is upsetting, the people NEED that money. It must be SOMEWHERE.

Nu?
