Second: commitment to the resolutions of national con-
sensus, and the resolutions of the legitimate sessions of the
Palestinian National Council, up to and including the 16th
session. Considering the session held in Amman divisive and
illegitimate, politically and organizationally.
Third: taking a serious and effective position to boycott and
expose the dangerous, conspiratorial role of the regime of King
Hassan II.
Fourth: following a decisive policy toward suspected, reac-
tionary figures in the occupied territories, whose activities
serve the schemes of the Zionist entity and the Jordanian
regime. Those figures, who accept the appointment and instal-
lation of mayors, are serving the ‘autonomy’ plan and the
Israeli-Jordanian condominium policy.
Fifth: improving relations with the Arab nationalist states,
members of the Steadfastness and Confrontation Front, first
and foremost Syria; deepening and coordinating efforts to
confront the imperialist and Zionist schemes, in accordance
with the resolutions of the consecutive sessions of the PNC,
especially the 16th session.
Sixth: consolidating and strengthening militant relations
with the Lebanese national movement; developing the
Lebanese-Palestinian-Syrian nationalist confrontation of the
imperialist-Zionist-reactionary plans, in order to defeat them.
Thereafter, the Central Committee discussed the necessary
organizational basis for reunifying the PLO. After thorough
discussion, the Central Committee concluded the lessons of the
previous bitter experience. The Central Committee reaffirmed
that reunifying the PLO requires organizational reforms.
These reforms will guarantee reconstituting the Palestinian
National Council, the Central Council, and the establishment
of a genuine, trustworthy, collective leadership committed to
strict defense of the rights of our people. This leadership would
be committed to the struggle to achieve our people’s aims of
return, self-determination and the establishment of an inde-
pendent state; and committed to implementing the resolutions
passed by the legitimate institutions.
Based on concern for reunifying the PLO, the Central
Committee affirmed the necessity of the Politbureau’s expedi-
ting the plans drawn up to start intensive communications and
initiatives with all Palestinian and Arab patriots and interna-
tionalist parties, to achieve this central task. This is based on
the great and deep sense of patriotic responsibility resting on
the shoulders of the Central Committee and the leaderships of
the other Palestinian organizations, to confront the dangers of
the imperialist-Zionist-reactionary plan facing our national
cause. The Central Committee clearly emphasized that it is not
setting conditions, but proposing a basis for national unity,
which it sees as the way to extricate the PLO from the course of
seeking a US solution, and restore it to the course of national
struggle.
The Central Committee also ascertained the importance of
immediately starting a comprehensive national dialogue. They
directed the Politbureau to start this immediately in the case of
official and public cancellation of the Amman accord, because
this would mean a serious declaration of intention, a start of
the process of reestablishing the PLO’s unity, and readiness to
return to the program of national consensus.
The PFLP’s insistence on this political and organizational
basis stems from our feeling that the dangers that surround the
PLO and Palestinian cause, aiming to cancel it from the poli-
tical map, do not allow for the ambivalent policy of saying
‘yes’ and ‘no’ at the same time. This policy dragged the PLO
into its current crisis. The course of the revolution is very clear
to us, and to everyone who wants to continue the struggle to
fulfill our right to return, self-determination and the esta-
blishment of an independent state.
Concerning the statement issued in Prague, as a result of the
discussions held between the Fatah movement, the DFLP and
the Palestinian Communist Party as a step towards national
unity, the Central Committee affirms that this falls short of
providing the necessary political basis for solid and stable
national unity, opposed to the imperialist-Zionist-reactionary
16
alliance. The Central Committee views the text of the state-
ment as a return to the policy of ‘yes’ and ‘no’, which has
harmed the Palestinian struggle for so long. The statement that
the «Amman agreement is no longer the basis of our work» is a
return to the policies of ‘yes’ and ‘no’ It does not close the
gates to US-style solutions.
Therefore, the Central Committe of the PFLP insists that
the political basis be very clear, beyond the shadow of a doubt.
The text of the Prague statement means that the Amman
accord is not cancelled, and that coordination between the
PLO leadership and the Jordanian regime was only frozen.
Meanwhile, the Jordanian regime continues to rely on this
accord for implementing the condominium policy of coopera-
tion with the Zionist enemy in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
Serious and clear confrontation of the Jordanian regime’s
schemes, especially the joint condominium policy, requires
cancellation of the Amman accord to pave the way for reestab-
lishing national unity, and intensifying the struggle against the
enemy schemes in all forms.
The Central Committee found that the Prague statement left
the Cairo gate wide open. This poses a great threat to the
Palestinian national cause. The Central Committee therefore
affirms that the political basis for national unity must include a
clear position on relations with the Egyptian regime, the
gateway to Camp David.
The Central Committee considers reestablishment of the
PLO’s unity as an urgent, central task. It thus proposed the
political and organizational basis needed for this process, spe-
cifying the mechanism whereby dialogue could begin for
achieving this task. The Central Committee calls upon all
Palestinian and Arab patriotic forces, and all international
allies, to join efforts to achieve this urgent task.
The Central Committee discussed the situation in the occu-
pied territories. It highly evaluated the escalation of popular
struggle against the occupation, its policies and practices. The
Central Committee identified the overwhelming threat posed
by the Israeli-Jordanian joint condominium policy. It directed
the Politbureau to use every available means to defeat these
policies, and called on all Palestinian patriotic forces to conso-
lidate their ranks in the occupied territories to confront these
dangers. The Central Committee gave special instructions to
the Politbureau on confronting the appointment of new
mayors by the Zionist enemy and the Jordanian regime, and on
confronting the joint condominium policies, and the Zionists’
policies of settlement and usurpation.
The Central Committee discussed the important and grave
developments on the Arab level, as these are interconnected
with our national cause and affect the future of the Palestinian
and Arab nationalist work. The Central Committee affirmed
that the Arab region is experiencing successive, escalating
attacks from the imperialist forces, headed by the US adminis-
tration. The lack of unity and solidarity in the Arab ranks in
the face of these attacks, led to new setbacks and deterioration.
This was manifest in the treacherous Ifran meeting, followed
by the meeting between Mubarak and Peres in Alexandria,
signifying further submission to imperialist hegemony over the
region. This dangerous situation requires consolidation in the
ranks of the Arab steadfastness and confrontation forces. It
demands the revitalization of their confrontation of the impe-
rialist and Zionist schemes in the region..
The Central Committee also discussed the developments in
Lebanon, emphasizing alliance with the Lebanese nationalist
forces in confronting the Zionist enemy, liberating the South
from occupation, confronting the fascist forces, and preser-
ving a united, independent, Arab Lebanon. In this framework,
the Central Committee affirmed that defending the Palestinian
nationalist armed presence in the Palestinian camps in
Lebanon, is a patriotic duty. The PFLP will continue enacting
this duty regardless of the forces trying to cancel this presence.
The Central Committee warned against any inter-Palestinian
fighting in the camps in Lebanon, and called on all forces to
consolidate their ranks to confront all schemes to cancel the
Palestinian nationalist armed presence in Lebanon.
