Suha Tawil - Biography
Suha was born in the West Bank in 1963 into an affluent Christian family who lived in Nablus and then Ramallah (both cities under Jordanian authority at the time). Suha`s father Daoud Tawil, an Oxford-educated banker, was born in Jaffa (now part of Tel-Aviv). Suha`s mother, Raymonda Hawa Tawil, born in Acre, was a politically-active Palestinian militant, poet and writer. Suha attended a convent school, Rosary Sisters` School, in Beit Hanina, Jerusalem and the Sorbonne in Paris. As a student, Suha was a leader in the General Union For Palestine Students (GUPS) in France, where she organized demonstrations for the Palestinian cause.Suha, her mother, and her sisters met Arafat for the first time in 1985. When he visited France in 1989, she acted as an interpreter at the meetings with visitors and French government officials. Soon after his departure from Paris, Arafat asked Suha to come and work with him in Tunisia (where the Palestinian Liberation Organization had set up a haven). Suha married Arafat on July 17, 1990, when she was aged 27 and he was 61. At the time of their marriage, she was a Greek Orthodox Christian. Their only child, daughter Zahwa, was born on July 24, 1995 in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France. In February 2004, French prosecutors began an investigation of why large amounts of money were being transferred into her bank account. Israel suspected money had been diverted to the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade.As Arafat was dying in Paris in 2004, she accompanied him in his hospital room and was instructed to talk to him in an attempt to bring him out of his coma. He died November 11, 2004. According to Suha, the PNA pays her $10,000 (£5,000) per month, and the money is his pension. However, according to The Sunday Times, reports stated she pressed "senior Palestinian officials for millions of dollars to sustain her supposedly lavish lifestyle".
