Arafat's widow will get $22 million per yr
Nice to know they are using the money for a good cause! 
Yasser Arafat's widow, Suha, is expected to receive a sum of $22 million a year out of the Palestinian Authority budget, according to the Italian newspaper Corriere De La Serra.
The paper said Suha reached an agreement about the money during a meeting with Mahmoud Abbas, the PLO's newly elected chairman, who visited while she was staying next to her husband's bed in the French military hospital outside Paris.
It said Abbas personally promised Suha that she would receive $22 million a year to cover her expenses in Paris. The paper noted that in July Arafat transferred to his wife $11 million to cover her living costs for the first six months of the year.
Abbas and the Palestinian leadership were forced to strike the deal with Suha after she refused to allow them to visit her husband in hospital.
The Palestinian leaders reached the conclusion that it would be better to make a deal with her in order to solve the crisis surrounding Arafat's possessions and secret bank accounts.
According to Palestinian officials, the money that Suha is expected to receive will come from secret accounts held by Arafat and his cronies in various countries. They estimated that at least $4 billion were being held in these secret accounts.

When Suha moved to Paris four years ago, she chose to take up residence at the exclusive five-star Hotel Bristol on rue Faubourg St Honor . Not for Suha a modest room or two: she took an entire floor - $15,000-plus per night.

Almost $5.6 million a year If she had a brain she would put that money in Real Estate instead of throwing it away on Room service

 No doubt.
And have a tax writeoff (? maybe) and make a profit too. Not like any of the Palestinians could use the money?

A tax writeoff?  ....in EUROPE? Didn't know there was any such thing. In Europe you can't go into a restroom and p - - without a tax.

Too funny....Yeah, I'm not familiar with European tax code so I'm not sure if they get a mortgage interest deduction like us. (that's why I put the ?)
Either way, I know that the Palestinian people and government could use this money more than having Arafat's widow paying $15K/night for a floor in a hotel!
(edited for the correction, thanks JAC JZS)

Also, guys, don't forget............. (and I partially forgot it myself)............$22 million won't really go that far in Paris after the French Government gets done TAXING it. Why? So the French Government can turn around and sent it right BACK to radical Mideast groups.
Is this a crazy world, or what?
