PFLP Central Committee
Communique
The PFLP’s Central Committee held a regular session on June
28-9, 1987, to discuss the main issues. In particular, the Cen-
tral Committee evaluated the most important Palestinian
event, 1.e., the restoration of the PLO’s unity on the basis of a
clear, nationalist, anti - imperialist and anti-Zionist program,
through the convening of the unification session of the
Palestinian National Council (PNC) on April 20th in Algiers.
EVALUATING THE PNC RESULTS
The Central Committee affirmed that the political results of
the PNC session ended the division that had prevailed in the
Palestinian arena for over four years. The results restored the
PLO to its natural position in the Arab and international
arenas, and intensified its confrontation of the imperialist-
Zionist liquidationist plans... The results of the PNC have
eliminated, in this period, the chances of success of the enemy
plan to liquidate the PLO and its right to the political
representation of the Palestinian people, and to create alter-
natives to the PLO. These attempts were facilitated by the deep
divisions in the PLO.
While the enemy forces were working to deepen the PLO’s
crisis, we in the PFLP, along with all nationalist and pro-
gressive Palestinian forces, were in the forefront of the work to
restore the PLO’s unity on a nationalist basis antagonistic to
imperialism and Zionism. This work was launched from the
very moment that conditions were conducive to achieving that
aim, in particular after King Hussein’s speech on February 19,
1986, in which he declared a halt to the political coordination
between the PLO leadership and the Jordanian regime.
The King’s speech constituted the start of a process wherein
a number of objective and subjective factors matured, making
the restoration of unity an achievable mission. Most
distinguished of these factors may have been the clear conflict
between what was demanded of the PLO leadership for conti-
nuing the liquidationist US plan, and the capacity of the
Palestinian bourgeoisie to meet such demands. US im-
perialism, Arab reaction and the Jordanian regime in par-
ticular saw the Amman accord of February 1985 as a tool for
eliminating the Palestinian representation and our people’s
national rights. Yet, from the US-Israeli point of view, this
accord was not enough to achieve their goal of eliminating the
PLO and the Palestinian cause. Added to that was the exposure
of the true nature of the ongoing Israeli-Jordanian plan in the
occupied territories, which has the same goals.
The Central Committee highly praised the sincere and great
efforts expended by Algeria, Libya and Democratic Yemen, as
well as the positive and effective role of the Soviet Union and
the socialist countries and all fraternal, progressive and na-
tionalist forces. Such efforts played a great role in pushing the
unification process towards positive results, culminating in the
PNC’s unification session.
The Central Committee also highly praised the vanguard
role of the PFLP’s Politbureau, headed by the General
Secretary, in working for the success of the dialogue and ex-
22
tracting the best possible resolutions. This, along with the
positive efforts of other Palestinian forces, contributed to the
restoration of the PLO’s unity.
CONSOLIDATING UNITY
In the light of the escaiating efforts to eliminate the PLO and
the Palestinian cause, the Central Committee calls on all
Palestinian nationalist organizations and personalities, and
Arab and international friends and allies, to continue the
struggle to consolidate the PLO’s unity, to protect the PLO, to
defend its national program and upgrade its effective role on
all levels. Presently, this is the central task in our struggle
through which we can upgrade the Palestinian national work
and repel all dangers surrounding our national cause and the
PLO, as the militant political representative of the Palestinian
people’s national identity and their leader in struggle.
Achieving this goal requires continued struggle within the
PLO to impose respect for and adherence to the PNC’s resolu-
tions, to decisively resist all political and organizational viola-
tions, and to continue the process of organizational reform on
all levels, in order for the unification process to be completed.
In addition, there must be serious, positive and sincere efforts
to insure that other Palestinian nationalist organizations, that
are still outside the PLO, join the unity that was consecrated in
the unification session of the PNC. Such efforts will enable the
confrontation of imminent dangers. The Central Committee
renews its call to these organizations and to all independent
patriotic personalities to shoulder their responsibility in con-
fronting the dangers surrounding our revolution on all sides,
and to comply with initiatives aimed at aligning all militant
forces and personalities within the PLO.
While praising the role of our masses in the occupied
homeland, in Lebanon, Jordan and everywhere, the Central
Committee calls on the struggling masses to embrace their PLO
and protect its national role and program, to escalate all forms
of struggle, first and foremost the armed struggle, con-
solidating and developing it.
URGENT TASKS —
RELATIONS WITH SYRIA
As for immediate aims, the Central Committee reaffirmed
the necessity of serious, patient and positive work to correct
relations between the PLO and Syria on a clear formula, based
on common antagonism to imperialism, Zionism and their
plans in the region. Such a step would mean a qualitative leap
in the Palestinian struggle and the struggle of all progressive
and nationalist Arab forces; it would insure consolidation of
the Syrian-Palestinian-Lebanese nationalist alliance which
constitutes the main instrument in resisting the enemy plans...
STEADFASTNESS UNDER OCCUPATION
The Central Committee also pointed to the escalation of the
joint Jordanian-Israeli plans and the continuation of the - هو جزء من
