Abu Sharif said that Arafat was poisoned by Israel, without any help from any Palestinian party, and slammed the statements of Farouq Qaddoumi, who claimed that the current president, Mahmoud Abbas, was involved in the death of Arafat.
Abu Sharif said that the poison was administered to Arafat through his medications, and added that the Israeli intelligence agency, , replaced Arafat’s medications with similar poisoned medications manufactured in Israel.
He added that while Arafat was besieged by the Israeli army in his Ramallah headquarters, all medications that he took, and the food and drinks were brought to him by a Palestinian ambulance, and that the army forcefully held the driver away from the vehicle for at least 30 minutes while the soldiers searched it.
Abu Sharif then stated that this incident facilitated Israel’s plot to replace Arafat’s medications with poisoned ones.
He also slammed the statements of Fateh’s secretary-general, in which he accused Jordan of arranging the press conference of Farouq Al Qaddoumi, and defended the nation, adding that Jordan always welcomed the leaders of the Palestinian Liberation Organization, and always supported the Palestinian rights.
