Thousands of artifacts related to the life of the former head of the PLO and the Palestinian terrorist chief Yasser Arafat is now collected in a new museum in Ramallah, the construction at a cost of 3.4 million dollars. Facility is scheduled to open this year, but construction in Mukat (fortified residence, where the PLO chairman spent the last two years of his life) continues.
That part of the building of Makuta, who is currently the headquarters of his successor, President Mahmoud Abbas, functioning as before, and reserved for the museum was sealed after Arafat’s death Nov. 11, 2004.
Recall that the patient Arafat delivered by helicopter to a military hospital in France. There he spent two weeks before his death from some mysterious illness and is not detected by physicians. Many in the Palestinian Authority believes that the PLO chairman had been poisoned Israeli agents. However, such allegations are categorically denied Raanan Gisin, an assistant of former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, who stressed that Israel’s policy was to isolate, but not to kill terrorist leader.
The Museum is constructed by the Foundation of Yasser Arafat. This fund was established in Cairo in February 2008 by a group of Arab leaders, including PA President Mahmoud Abbas, Secretary General of Arab League Amr Moussa Arafat and his nephew, Nasser al-Kid, who became chairman of the board of directors of the Fund Arafat.
By the time when the organization began its official activities, her account was $ 5 million. However, funding sources are unclear, and information about who finances the fund Arafat remains closed.
Among the thousands of items in the collection of artifacts and is well-known black-and-white cotton kufes who wore Arafat, and which eventually became the world symbol of Palestinian terrorism, and later, the Palestinian Authority.
