The French government has some explaining to do.
(Other example: Jacques Chirac brought Yasser Arafat to France to die in a military hospital. His medical record is still classified.)

Having fled the #WestBank during the #1967War, #YasserArafat on #ThisDayInHistory in 1997 returned to the city #Hebron/#alKhalil in the #JudeanHills of #Palestine for the first time in 30 years. The public was celebrating hand-over to the #PalestinianAuthority/#StateOfPalestine.
On Jan 9, 2005: Elections are held to replace #YasserArafat as head of the Palestine Liberation Organization. He is succeeded by Rawhi Fattouh.
On #ThisDayInHistory in 2005, #MahmoudAbbas won the election to replace #YasserArafat as President of the #StateOfPalestine & #PalestinianAuthority with 67% of votes cast. He had only a four-year term, but no elections have been held since then and he remains illegally in office.
On #ThisDayInHistory in 2002, Israel seized a small cargo ship, #MVKarineA, that was apparently purchased by members of the #PalestinianAuthority and loaded with 50 tons of #Iranian weapons in #Yemen. #Fatah and #YasserArafat denied knowledge and involvement with the scheme.
On #ThisDayInHistory in 2004, #YasserArafat, long-time head of the #PLO, died in a suburb of Paris. The #Palestinian leader had fallen ill in October and was taken to France for medical care. In the years prior he was a virtual prisoner in #Ramallah due to the #SecondIntifada.
On this day, we honor the memory of Yasser Arafat (Abu Ammar) — the first President of the State of Palestine 🇵🇸
The man who carried the dream on his shoulders and gave the world a nation called Palestine.
The body may be gone, but the identity he built lives on forever.

When #YasserArafat in 2000 and #MahmoudAbbas in 2008 blew the "chance of the millennium" to put #Palestine on the map as a result of their outrageously stupid demand of wanting 100% of #WestBank, it was always going to be at least many decades before there was any possibility of a Palestinian state.
To extend upon the comment from #RichardMarles in this article, both him and @albomp.bsky.social and every other "virtue signalling" politician, knows that #YasserArafat in 2000 & #MahmoudAbbas in 2008 both spectacularly F-ed it up with negotiations to create a Palestinian state.
@latikambourke.com
#Albanese knows full well that #YasserArafat f***ed up the chance of the millennium in 2000 for the creation of sovereign #Palestine and his "buddy" #MahmoudAbbas did exactly the same in 2008.
There can't be a TWO STATE SOLUTION because the #PLO and #Hamas want a ONE STATE SOLUTION.
= NO ISRAEL.
You see @albomp.bsky.social, #MahmoudAbbas in 2008, just like that idiot named #YasserArafat in 2000, had a "golden opportunity" to have a state of #Palestine created for the Palestinian people.
Why Albo did both of them reject what #Israel offered?
Because BOTH do NOT think Israel should exist.
If it wasn't for #YasserArafat' s mindnumbing, naive stupidity and brinkmanship, when he totally f***ed up the talks between himself, #BillClinton & former Israeli PM #EhudBarak in 2000, #Palestine would already be on the map.
There would be NO #Hamas.
And Hamas is going to stop it ever happening.
