blackmail countries in the area, and destablize and/or attack
regimes considered unfavorable by these forces. The Soviet
Union and the PLO advocate turning the Mediterranean into a
zone of cooperation and lasting peace, nuclear-free and free of
foreign military bases. They noted the importance of the role
the non-aligned countries could play to that end. They praised
the resolutions recently adopted by the foreign ministers of the
non-aligned Mediterranean countries that met in Yugoslavia.
The Soviet Union and PLO consider that terrorism, and
state terrorism in particular, is a great danger to peace, security
and cooperation among nations. The two parties strongly
condemn terrorist acts carried out by individuals, groups or
states. They advocate international cooperation aimed at
eliminating all terrorist phenomena by legitimate means. At
the same time, they reject the Israeli and imperialist efforts to
label the PLO a terrorist group and exploit this false pretext to
exclude the PLO from participating in the settlement of the
Middle East conflict.
Both parties support the Syrian Arab Republic’s initiative
calling for the convention of a UN-sponsored international
conference for the purpose of defining terrorism and
distinguishing this from people’s national liberation struggles.
Both parties expressed their intent to continue consolidating
the friendly Soviet-Palestinian relations, developing and
coordinating work in the struggle to consecrate international
security, reinforcing the independence and social advancement
of the nations and achieving a just, lasting peace in the Middle
East.
On behalf of the Palestinian people and PLO leadership,
Farouq Qaddoumi expressed deep gratitude to the Soviet
Union and its leadership for their genuine support which is an
important factor in the Palestinian people’s struggle for their
legitimate national rights. The two parties agreed to continue
regular dialogue in all fields of common interest. A Palestinian
delegation, headed by PLO Executive Committee Chairman
Yasir Arafat, is scheduled to visit the Soviet Union. r)
Relations with Egypt and Jordan
such a short period?
The renewed contacts with the Egyptian and Jordanian regimes by
some Palestinian officials violate the decisions of the unifying PNC.
Before answering this question, we
should clarify who Hani Al Hassan
represents. Certainly he is not the best
On June 29th, Hani Al Hassan, Yasir
Arafat’s political advisor, arrived
Arafat met Egyptian President Husni
Mubarak during the Organization of
person to represent the PLO in negotia-
tions with either Jordan or Egypt. On
the contrary, he is very close to
representing the Jordanian and Egyp-
in Cairo. He spent almost a week
there, meeting with Egyptian of-
ficials. Al Hassan’s visit was clearly in
violation of the PNC _ resolutions
adopted at the April unification session
in Algiers. From Cairo, Al Hassan’s
next stop was Jordan, where he arrived
on July 7th. Twenty days later, Yasir

Ababa.
Given the Mubarak regime’s angry
response to the PNC resolution on
relations with Egypt, and the Jordanian
monarch’s disappointment at the
cancellation of the February 1985
Amman accord, what has changed in
tian regimes’ policies, rather than those
of the PLO. This is particularly the case
after the PNC’s last session which
restored the PILO’s unity on the basis of
the national program.
