"... the intifada (shaking) protest movement strengthened Arafat by directing world attention to the difficult plight of the Palestinians. In 1988 came a change of policy.

Arafat received in 1994 the Nobel Peace Prize together with [[Shimon Peres]] and [[Yitzhak Rabin]], because of the Oslo Accords of 1993.<ref>http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/peace/laureates/1994/</ref> From December 2001 to April 2002 he was under house arrest in [[Ramallah]]. This gave Arafat the status of a living martyr for the Palestinian cause. In 2004, Arafat died at the Frech Percy Military Hospital in Clamart, near Paris. The cause of his illness is still unknown.
