Yassir Arafat shared it with Yitzhak (sp?) Rabin and, I think, maybe also Shimon Peres after the Oslo accords. 1994?

Is that the one you're thinking of?
That's the one. I don't think Peres was involved. Oslo accords dealt with a peace deal between Israel and Palestinians, among other things. Ironically, Rabin was also assassinated. As far as I can tell both Sadat and Rabin were killed by radical elements of their own country who were opposed to the very deals that won them the Nobel Peace Prize in the first place.
