its total rejection of the occupation of land by force. It called
for cessation of hostilities in this war that has destroyed the
resources of both the Iranian and Iraqi people.
The Central Committee discussed the imperialists’ escalation
of their attacks against the Arab patriotic states, which poses a
great danger to the struggle of the Arab masses for progress
and liberation. The Central Committee saluted the steadfast-
ness of the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya in the face of direct US
aggression, and affirmed its solidarity with the Libyan revolu-
tion and masses. Concerning the imperialist and Zionist threats
to Syria, and the amassing of Zionist troops on the Syrian
border in preparation for an attack, the Central Committee
affirmed the Palestinian revolution’s stand alongside Syria,
against the imperialist and Zionist schemes.
The Central Committee highly evaluated the Soviet peace
initiatives for protecting the world from destruction and for
spreading peace and justice on our planet. The Central Com-
mittee affirmed the need for strengthening the Palestinian
revolution’s alliance with the friendly Soviet Union and the
socialist community. The Central Committee considers that the
Soviet Union, with its firm support to the struggle of the Arab
masses, is a strategic ally of our people and revolution. The
Central Committee saluted the Soviet Union and the states of
the socialist community for their support to the struggle of the
Palestinian and Arab masses.
The Central Committee concluded its session by affirming
our alliance with the liberation movements of the world and
the socialist community, first and foremost the Soviet Union.
The Central Committee saluted the masses in occupied Palest-
ine and called on them to intensify their struggle against the
joint Israeli-Jordanian projects - against the condominium
policy and the installment of mayors.
The Central Committee pledges to the Palestinian masses to
continue the struggle to achieve the national tasks, i.e., the
right to return, self-determination and the creation of an
independent state.

PFLP Communique on Meeting with Fatah’s Central Committee
Comrade George Habash, General
Secretary of the PFLP, met in Prague
with brother Khalil Al Wazir (Abu
Jihad) of Fatah’s Central Committee.
The talks centered on the situation in
the Palestinian arena and the dangers
the Palestinian struggle faces in the
present period, mainly the Jordanian-
Israeli division of functions conspiracy,
and the ongoing attempts to eliminate
the Palestinian armed presence in
Lebanon, as a step towards liquidating
the national cause of our people alto-
gether.
Brother Abu Jihad presented a work-
ing paper from the Central Committee
of Fatah, which included the following
principal clauses:
1. The Prague declaration, signed on
September Sth, with all its political and
organizational clauses, is considered
binding on all parties in the national
dialogue.
2. The Central Committee of Fatah
commits itself to approving the decla-
ration of the cancellation of the
Jordanian-Palestinian accord, signed
February 11, 1985, in the comprehen-
sive Palestinian dialogue which would
start on the eve of the PNC’s 18th ses-
sion.
3. All procedures leading to the
PNC, including the time and place,
would be agreed upon before the start
of the comprehensive national dia-
logue, on the basis that the period bet-
ween the start of the national dialogue
and the convening of the PNC would
not exceed one week.
4. At the same time, the PFLP
declares in the national dialogue, its
withdrawal from any political or orga-
nizational forms or committees outside
the ranks and institutions of the PLO,
and also declares its commitment to
attend the PNC.
Comrade MHabash presented the
PFLP’s point of view on how to restore
the PLO’s unity, as expressed in the
following principal points:
1. The PFLP sees that public and
official cancellation of the Amman
accord is the entrance to any compre-
hensive national dialogue. Without
this, the process of Palestinian national
dialogue would continue to stumble.
The party which has the power to
cancel the Amman accord is fully
responsible before our people and revo-
lution, for the stalemate in the efforts
to regain the PLO’s unity on a firm
nationalist basis.
2. Based on this truth, the PFLP
considers the Prague declaration as a
step seeking national unity, but which is
incomplete and insufficient. Therefore,
some parties who signed this declara-
tion have started a process of reevalua-
ting it, in order to improve and com-
plete it, especially concerning honest
and official cancellation of the Amman
accord.
3. The PFLP, along with the majo-
rity of Palestinian revolutionary orga-
nizations, sees that a condition for
Palestinian national unity is closure of
both gateways to the US solution:
Amman and Cairo. This dictates brea-
king relations with the Camp David
regime in Egypt, as well as cancellation
of the Amman accord.
4. The PFLP still adheres to the
organizational clauses of the Aden-
Algiers agreement, which would gua-
rantee realization of a collective,
democratic, trustworthy leadership for
the PLO, instead of hegemony and
individualism.
5. The PFLP calls on Fatah’s lea-
dership to stop using methods of post-
ponement and unclear formulas like
«approving the declaration of the can-
cellation of the accord... in the dia-
logue», and instead to _ publicly
declare the official cancellation of this
accord. Let’s not hide anymore behind
the flimsy pretences which are used to
justify this dangerous policy.
6. The PFLP adheres to its evalua-
tion of the 17th session of the PNC as
being illegal, convened in the absence
of Palestinian national consensus and
opposed to it; this session paved the
way for the ill-reputed Amman accord.
7. In the case of its convening after
the cancellation of the Amman accord,
the comprehensive national dialogue is
obliged to discuss all political and
Organizational issues and problems
which the Palestinian revolution faces
in the present period. This aims at
formulating a Palestinian national
agreement on these problems. There-
fore, the dialogue cannot be viewed in a
superficial or unconcerned manner.
Nor can it be confined to a short period
such as was mentioned in Fatah’s pro-
posals (one week), unless some are still
looking at the process of comprehen-
sive national dialogue as a formality.
8. The contents of Fatah’s proposals,
mainly the necessity of a prior agree-
ment on the time and place of the PNC,
even before the start of the compre-
hensive national dialogue, are contrary
to serious desire to (1) start the dia-
logue; (2) reach a national agreement;
and (3) broaden this agreement in order
to achieve a unanimous agreement.
9. Asking the PFLP to commit itself
to attend the PNC, even before achie-
ving a national agreement, and to
abandon our present nationalist
alliances, is part of the policy of
paralyzing the conditions and putting
obstacles to the unity process. This
process starts by cancelling the
‘Jordanian-Palestinian accord’; it con-
tinues with the comprehensive national
dialogue and agreement, and concludes
with the convening of the PNC. The
PNC then would consecrate this
agreement, formulate a clear and dis-
tinct policy for the PLO, form 4a trust-
worthy, collective leadership, and ins-
titute democratic reforms in the PLO.
10. The PFLP, by confirming its
position on how to restore the PLO’s
unity and the principles necessary for
attaining such unity, renews its insis-
tence on exploiting all possible efforts
to put these convictions into practice.
The PFLP confirms its adherence to the
policy drawn up by its Central Com-
mittee to start intensive communication
and initiatives with all Palestinian
forces to speedily restore the PLO’s
unity on a nationalist basis, opposed to
imperialism and Zionism.
