Mr Arafat, who was Palestinian leader for more than a decade, died in 2004
Forensic tests on former Palestinian leader Yasser
Arafat's corpse have revealed he was poisoned to death with radioactive
polonium, his wife has claimed.
A team of experts have been examining samples taken from Mr Arafat's body since his grave was opened in the West Bank city of Ramallah.
The exhumation last November came eight years after his death at a military hospital in France.
Doctors said he died from a massive stroke but were unable to find the origin of his illness.
French prosecutors opened a murder investigation in August 2012, after traces of polonium-210 - the same radioactive substance that killed Russian spy Alexander Litvinkenko in 2006 - were reportedly found on some of Mr Arafat's belongings.
Professor David Barclay, a British forensic scientist who has seen the results of the Swiss tests, said the findings were a "smoking gun" for those who suspect he was murdered.
"In my opinion, it is absolutely certain that the cause of his illness was polonium poisoning," he said. "The levels present in him are sufficient to have caused death."
Professor Barclay said a miniscule dose of the deadly isotope may have been slipped into Mr Arafat's drink, food, eye drops or toothpaste.
The substance must have been made in a nuclear reactor, he claimed.
