Lebanese national movement and the Palestinian revolution.
The PFLP takes upon itself to expend all efforts to guarantee
the success of the Sidon agreement signed on September 11th
between the Palestinians and the Front for Unification and
Liberation.
NAJI AL ALP?’S ASSASSINATION
The politbureau discussed at length the assassination of the
militant artist Naji Al Ali. This was a grave, irreplaceable loss
to the Palestinian people and to all progressive and democratic
Arabs. The politbureau reviewed the communiques issued by
some Palestinian forces, which indicated that the assassination
was a consequence of the martyr’s political stands, and was
carried out by a certain Palestinian trend. The PFLP warns of
engulfing the Palestinian arena in a cycle of political violence,
and condemns such destructive tendencies. Our masses’ ex-
perience proves the tragic consequences of such tendencies, and
requires that all display caution and prevent any such attempts.
At the same time, the PFLP calls for commemorating Naji Al
Ali by all means and forming a special committee for the pur-
pose.
CHAD
The politbureau reviewed the continuous aggression of US
imperialism and its allies against Libya. This aggression aims
to weaken Libya, prevent it from supporting the national
liberation movements, particularly the Palestinian revolution,
and striking Libya itself as a revolutionary phenomenon in the
area. The US and French imperialists have resorted to Hissene
Habre’s regime in Chad to continue aggression against Libya.
The PFLP condemns this aggression and calls on all nationalist
and progressive forces to support Libya, in order to defeat the
imperialist plans.
The PFLP considers the attacks on Libya an attack on the
Palestinian revolution. At the same time, we warn that the
imperialist forces aim to utilize border disputes to divert the
nationalist and progressive regimes from the Arab nation’s
focal issues - the Palestinian question and confronting im-
perialist plans in the area.
THE GULF
The politbureau discussed the dangerous developments in
the Gulf, as seen in the US and NATO military presence which
is acurrent and future threat to the security and sovereignty of
the peoples of the area. The PFLP strongly condemns this
military presence and calls for its immediate withdrawal from
the Gulf and Arab Sea. The PFLP holds the reactionary
regimes especially responsible for inviting the imperialist fleets
to the area.
The PFLP calls for a halt to the destructive Iraq-Iran war,
viewing UN resolution 598 as a correct, suitable approach for
resolving the problem, and calling on both parties to abide by
it.
REGIONAL STEADFASTNESS
The politbureau affirmed the importance of cooperation
between the steadfast forces and states in order to confront the
increased imperialist-Zionist aggression against the region. Not
only are Palestinian and other Arab territories occupied by
‘Israel’, now there is direct occupation of Iraqi territory and
aggression on Libya, plus the presence of US and NATO
fleets and forces, particularly in the Gulf.
The weakness of joint work between the steadfast states and
the nationalist and progressive forces weakens their capacity to
confront, while making it easier for the enemy forces to con-
tinue their aggression.
THE YEAR OF PALESTINE
This year is the 70th anniversary of the ill-reputed Balfour
declaration, 40 years since the UN partition plan was adopted,
20 years since the 1967 aggression and five years since the
Israeli invasion of Lebanon. The UN has decided to call this
year the International Year of Palestine. We call on all Arab
and international progressive forces to make this year one of
qualitative support to the Palestinian masses’ just struggle to
achieve their national goals of return, self-determination and
an independent state on their national soil...

PFLP Dismisses Bassam Abu Sharif
STATEMENT ISSUED
July 30, 1987
The PFLP’s Politbureau held an
emergency meeting to discuss the par-
ticipation of Bassam Abu Sharif in a
Palestinian delegation headed by PLO
Executive Committee Chairman Yasir
Arafat, which met with Egyptian
President Husni Mubarak during the
OAU summitin Ethiopia.
The Politbureau issued a statement
reaffirming the PFLP’s position on the
Camp David regime of Egypt and rela-
tions with it. The statement confirmed
the PFLP’s position on the meeting
with Mubarak as being harmful to the
Palestinian people’s national interests
and revolution and to the PLO. Such
meetings are a violation of the resolu-
tions of the PNC’s unification session
concerning relations with the Egyptian
regime.
In the light of this position, the
Politbureau considered that Bassam
Abu Sharif had assumed an in-
dividualistic position, deeply violating
the PFLP’s political and organizational
line. Bassam Abu Sharif was neither the
official spokesman of the PFLP, nor its
political representative (at the summit).
The Politbureau decided that:
1. Bassam Abu Sharif’s membership in
the PFLP’s Central Committee is
abrogated.
2. Bassam Abu Sharif is dismissed
from the PFLP and all its organiza-
tional bodies and ranks.
3. Any action taken by Bassam Abu
Sharif is considered an individual and
isolated act representing only his own
convictions.
In conclusion, the Politbureau reaf-
firmed the PFLP’s sincere efforts to
uphold its positions and consecrate its
political and organizational principles.
The PFLP will continue the struggle to
uphold the resolutions of the legitimate
institutions of the PLO and its national
program, honoring the Palestinian
people’s struggle and martyrs, and in
line with the PFLP’s belief in the in-
evitability of victory and the liberation
of Palestine. @
