It's best for Israel to accommodate him right now and not do anything that appears to stand in the way of his receiving medical treatment. If he does die, there's no sense in adding fuel to the fire by allowing the Palestinians to blame his death on his inability to receive treatment, due to the Israelis. It's more than likely going to be a clusterfuck either way, but it's an act of diplomacy.

But what do the FRENCH have to do with it? Is it just because they're a 3rd party? Why not allow palestinian doctors to take care of Arafat? If it's good enough for his people, who live in dirt and squalor, then it's good enough for him, right?
