Chief Palestinian committee set up to investigate Arafat's 2004 death, Tawfik Terawi, said: "Israel is responsible for Arafat's blood"
The head of a Palestinian committee set up to investigate Arafat's 2004 death called it an "assassination".
He said investigations would continue "to confirm all the details and all elements of the case".
Israel has repeatedly denied any involvement in Arafat's death.
Arafat's widow, Suha, has said she believes the latest report proves he was assassinated. However, she said her late husband had many enemies around the world and she could not directly accuse anyone.
The Palestinian leader died in a military hospital in Paris in 2004 after suddenly being taken ill at his presidential compound in the West Bank city of Ramallah.
A report by Swiss scientists said Arafat's remains contained "unexpectedly high" amounts of polonium-210. However, they could not confirm it had caused his death.
