background: Yasser Arafat, the iconic Palestinian leader and chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), died on November 11, 2004, at a military hospital near Paris, France, after a sudden and severe illness. In October 2004, Arafat fell seriously ill with symptoms including severe nausea, vomiting, and a rapid decline in health, prompting his transfer from the West Bank to France for advanced medical care. Despite extensive tests, doctors were unable to determine a definitive cause of his illness, initially citing a stroke or an infection, but his condition worsened quickly, leading to his death at the age of 75. His passing triggered widespread mourning among Palestinians and sparked numerous conspiracy theories, with some suggesting he had been poisoned, possibly by radioactive substances like polonium, though official investigations have never conclusively confirmed this. Arafat’s death marked the end of an era for the Palestinian national movement, leaving a complex legacy as both a symbol of Palestinian resistance and a controversial political figure.
