The Amman Accord Must Be Officially Cancelled
JOINT POLITICAL COMMUNIQUE: THE
POPULAR FRONT FOR THE LIBERATION OF
PALESTINE (PFLP) AND THE PALESTINIAN
COMMUNIST PARTY(PCP)
High-level delegations from the PFLP and the PCP met late
in October to discuss the latest and most prominent deve-
lopments on the Palestinian and Arab levels. On the Palesti-
nian level, both parties noted the escalation of the imperialist-
Zionist-reactionary conspiracies against the Palestinian
national cause and the PLO. They also noted the increasing
interest of Palestinian nationalists in restoring the PLO’s unity
in order to confront all conspiracies threatening the future of
the Palestinian national struggle.
The parties discussed at length the dangers of the
Jordanian-Israeli coordination in the division of functions
plan for the occupied territories. The Jordanian ‘development’
plan, the reopening of branches of the Jordanian banks in the
occupied West Bank, and the appointment of pro-Jordanian
mayors, are all part of the US-supported, Israeli-Jordanian
scheme, aiming at diminishing the PLO’s influence and crea-
ting a new leadership that cooperates with ‘Israel’. This plan
also aims at normalizing Israeli-Jordanian relations in order to
implement a form of self-rule in the West Bank and Gaza
Strip, to be jointly administered by ‘Israel’ and Jordan. This
would lead to depriving our people of their national rights to
return, self-determination and the establishment of an inde-
pendent state. The parties noted that the process of implemen-
ting the division of functions plan is going forward, step by
step, while the Zionist authorities escalate their oppressive
campaigns against our masses in occupied Palestine. Mean-
while, splits continue in the Palestinian national ranks, and
official Arab action is lacking.
The PCP and PFLP express their great pride in the stead-
fastness of our masses in Palestine. Their escalation of mass,
military and political resistance against the Zionist authorities
and repressive measures, confirms that the division of func-
tions plan is the most dangerous threat at present.
The PCP and PFLP call for broad national unity in occu-
pied Palestine to confront this plan, based on assembling the
national forces, factions, personalities and committees that
oppose the Zionist occupation and its practices, and the
Israeli-Jordanian schemes, and that adhere to the national
goals of our people, and the PLO as their sole, legitimate
representative. The danger of the conspiracy requires all
Palestinians, without exception, to unite and surmount all
obstacles to united confrontation of the Israeli-Jordanian
schemes. It also necessitates serious work to unite the mass
organizations on a democratic basis. Both parties see that
cancellation of the Amman accord and regaining the PLO’s
unity will contribute greatly to providing the conditions for
confronting the division of functions plan, especially since the
Jordanian regime took advantage of the division in the PLO
and the political cover given by the Amman accord, to go
ahead with its plans.
The PFLP and PCP warn of the dangerous role of the
Egyptian regime in the conspiracy to liquidate the Palestinian
revolution. Specifically, the regime continues to pressure the
right-wing PLO leadership to accept resolution 242 and com-
pletely submit to the US conditions, in preparation for resto-
ring the PLO’s relations with Jordan on the basis of the
Amman accord. The Alexandria summit between Mubarak
and Peres reaffirmed the reality of this regime’s policies. It
refuted the claims of some Palestinians that there is a ‘dis-
tinction’ between the Mubarak and Sadat regimes.
The PCP and PFLP confirm that the current focus of all
Palestinian nationalists is to act fast to restore the PLO’s unity
on a national, anti-imperialist and anti-Zionist basis. Both
parties feel that the objective conditions needed for unity have
been created by the heightened imperialist-Zionist-reactionary
aggression against the PLO, aimed at liquidating its political
role, and by the exposure of the danger of betting on the US
and on relations with the Jordanian regime. Providing the
subjective condition is thus necessary. What is needed is for the
right-wing PLO leadership to retreat from its political course
which caused the split. This means an end to wagering on the
US solutions, to bargaining with the aims and achievements of
our masses, and to depending on the Arab reactionary regimes.
The PFLP and PCP consider that the political agreement of
Prague, signed early in September, was a step, though an
insufficient one, towards restoring the unity of the PLO. The
two parties confirm that definite declared cancellation of the
Amman accord by Fatah’s Central Committee and the offi-
cial. PLO leadership, would help to achieve more steps towards
regaining the PLO’s unity. This would advance the process of
national dialogue in preparation for an agreement on the
complete political and organizational basis of unity. Both par-
ties emphasized the following points:
1. Commitment to the political program of the PLO, the reso-
lutions of the PNC, up to and including the 16th session, and
the Palestinians’ right to return, self-determination and an
independent state.
2. Adherence to the PLO as the sole, legitimate representative
of. our people; rejection of all formulas for delegating, manda-
ting or sharing its representation; and confrontation of all
plans for an alternative to the PLO.
3. Clear and declared cancellation of the Amman accord.
4. Boycotting political relations with the Camp David regime
in Egypt.
.5. Commitment to the resolution of national consensus that
clearly rejects Security Council resolution 242.
6. Total rejection of all capitulationist plans such as Camp
David, the Reagan plan, self-administration and the division
of functions. An international conference, where the PLO is
equally and independently represented, is the suitable frame-
work for resolving the Middle East question and blocking any
partial or unilateral settlement.
7. Consolidating the PLO’s alliance with the Arab progressive
nationalist forces and regimes, particularly Syria and the
Lebanese and Jordanian nationalist forces.
8. Consolidating the PLO’s relations with the forces of libera-
tion, progress and socialism in the world, particularly the
Soviet Union and the socialist community.
9. Taking the organizational principles of the Aden-Algiers
agreement as a guideline; mainly, to eliminate hegemony in the
leadership and political decision-making of the PLO. This
would be done through turning the PLO into a real national
front, led collectively by a trustworthy leadership that protects
the PLO’s political line and relies on democratic principles in
its activities.
The PCP and PFLP confirm their determination to advance
Palestinian national unity in the framework of the PLO, and to
contribute to providing the necessary conditions for achieving
unity on the aforementioned political and organizational basis.
They will also confront the destructive efforts of the Egyptian
and Jordanian regimes, and the rightist Palestinians that col-
laborate with them.
Discussing the situation of the Palestinian masses in
Lebanon, both parties noted that the Amal movement has
recently broadened the scope of its aggression on our camps, to
include those in the South. The parties reaffirmed that these
aggressions sabotage the joint confrontation of the Zionist
occupation and its agents in South Lebanon, which does not
serve Lebanon’s liberation, independence or unity.
The PFLP and PCP express their great appreciation of the
Lebanese nationalist forces’ struggle against the Zionist occu-
pation and its agents. They reaffirm their interest in consoli-
dating the Palestinian-Lebanese militant alliance. They
demand that the Amal movement stop its aggression against
our masses, lift the siege on the camps and implement the
agreements signed, in order to strengthen the joint confronta-
tion of the Zionist occupation and its agents.
