The motives were very simple - Money. Suha (his wife), wanted to get something out the PLO. Arafat was a weathy person with fortune ranging from 300 million to 2 billion USD. Even though Suha was his wife from 90's, Arafat said to her that she will get nothing. But, since there was nothing in the will about it, she wanted to still try and get something, with Arafat being in a coma. She did - 22 million each year, but for how many years I wonder?
Arafat, being a wise person, never had any finacial controllers, he was the only person that controlled all the finacial dealings. He was know to have a special vest on him that contained pockets of money, that he would give out to people. He controlled all accounts (both his personal and PLO's), and only he knew where the money was and how much of it. Suha, got her hand on the little black pocket book that Arafat carried with him that contained all the accounts info. She decided to get something out of it. Truly ugly, becuase Arafat used all the money for a cause, and she is getting that money for her own needs.
