Nis one dead and one wounded; and the financial costs are $1
milten, a day. Or it withdraws from South Lebanon - an option
which does not provide guarantees against military operations
from South Lebanon to occupied Palestine. To this comes the
aggravating political and economic crisis ‘Israel’ is facing and
its present fear of the Syrian military force. Because of this, itis
unable to launch a large-scale military adventure which would
aim at returning the balance of forces to the stage prior to the
nationalist victory.
As to the fascists, the victory has inflicted heavy losses on
them, increased their differences,aborted their plans of con-
trolling all of Lebanon, and consequently they were compelled
to compromise at the Lausanne Conference for national recon-
ciliation.
The continuation of the armed struggle against the Zionist
forces in South Lebanon and the escalation of this struggle,
qualitatively and quantitatively, will increase the crisis of the
enemy and effect more changes not only in Lebanon but in the
area as a whole, and the continued cooperation between the
Lebanese National Forces and the Palestinian Revolution will
strengthen both of them.
The victory achieved in Lebanon was founded on the
basis of the nationalist triangle: Lebanese-Palestinian-Syrian.
The effects of this victory will therefore not be limited to Leba-
non, neither geographically nor politically. This victory
defeated the American administration’s and the Zionist
enemy’s plans for Lebanon, which are directly linked to their
projects for the whole area. Therefore, the positive reflections
of this will gradually show in the positions the enemy had plan-
ned to be their new attacking points after their victory in Leba-
non.
Jordan, for instance, being the second circle to follow
Camp David on Reagan’s list, has after the cancellation of the
May 17th agreement, increased difficulties in going ahead with
its and the American administration’s project for negotiations
with the Zionist enemy on the future of the West Bank and
Gaza on the basis of the Reagan plan. |
On the Palestinian level, the reflections will be deep. It

gle through fighting the forces of occupation in South Lebanon
and mobilize through political, social and cultural activities in
the Palestinian camps in Lebanon. It also strengthens the
democratic forces in fighting the capitulationist trend and pro-
ducing radical reforms in the PLO.
All these elements constitute the positive options in the
coming stage: the option of using the new balance of forces to
advance to an attacking stage. The main element enabling this
change in the balance of forces after 1982 is the Soviet Union's
great support to Syria and the national alliance which will con-
tinue to be the main element allowing more changes in the reg-
ional balance during this stage.
This stage also contains obstacles which should be over-
come, so all efforts can be directed against the enemy's plans.
One obstacle is the enemy’s attempts to create conflicts within
the Lebanese nationalist forces. Another is the attempts of the
Zionist enemy in making local «security» arrangements to
avoid great losses within its forces.
On the Palestinian level, the dangers resulting from
Arafat's visit to Cairo, and what followed from this visit, disen-
abled the PLO from having a central role in the preceeding bat-
tles, and if things continue as they are, this will be an obstacle
against the positive option.
For the PLO to play a central role in the struggle against
the imperialist plans and to secure the Palestinian People’s
right to self-determination and the building of an independent
state, unity must be reached on the basis of a national prog-
ram. The capitulationist trend must be seen to an end to bring
about radical changes within the PLO in order bring the PLO
back to its central, political role in the area.
The opportunity of changing the balance of forces in the
area which would restrain the enemy and pose new questions
was never as ripe as it is today. The qualitative support of the
Soviet Union forms an umbrella which ensures neutralization
of the imperialist forces; such a protection never occurred in
the area previously. By giving the National Lebanese Move-
ment, the Syrians and the Palestinian Revolution a historical
opportunity to direct further blows against the Zionist enemy,
further alterations in the balance of forces can be achieved.@
