French scientists have ruled out the possibility Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat was poisoned.
News agency Agence France-Presse (AFP) tweeted the update on Tuesday afternoon, reporting that, in the opinion of the forensics experts, he died due to a “generalised infection”.
Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor told AFP that the French results were "not a surprise".
Many Palestinians have accused Israel of being behind his death, something that Israel has always denied.
