There was prior agreement between the four organiza-
tions regarding our position towards Arafat. This was expres-
sed in the joint communique issued right after the visit. As |
mentioned, more important than the political declaration is the
results reached that will unite and determine our tactics in the
coming stage; the essence of this will be seen in the near
future.
How do you define the platform of the broad national
front mentioned in the declaration?
We should evaluate the Aden meeting in terms of two
aspects: First, uniting the points of view of the Joint Leadership
and the democratic trend in a way that guarantees the alliance
between these forces, which was achieved. Second is the
question of uniting the Palestinian arena and restoring the
Palestinian revolution’s central role in the confrontation
against imperialism. In this respect, we found that the point of
departure is confronting the deviationist policies. Doing this
successfully will enable us to restore unity in the Palestinian
arena, as well as the alliances needed at the present time. To
confront, isolate and eliminate this deviation, we must unite the
efforts of all forces: organizations, unions, nationalist per-
sonalities, etc... Therefore, we must form an active national
front aimed at isolating and eliminating the deviation, and
thereby protecting the unity of the PLO on a progressive.
nationalist basis.
It is known that the forces opposing deviation differ in
22
terms of the level of their opposition. Is the national front
open to all these forces, or is it proposed for the more rad-
ical forces?
We are really aiming for the broadest possible national
front to confront the deviation. In the next few days, we will be
coducting dialogue with all organizations without exception:
the uprising (Fatah rebels), Saiga, General Command, the
Palestinian Struggle Front, the mass organizations and
nationalist personalities to discuss the formation of the national
front against deviation. We want to establish the broadest pos-
sible front to accomodate all forces opposing the deviationist
trend. Can this front avoid taking a position on the trend rep-
resented by Arafat and the steps he has taken on this path?
The answer is no.
Yet for the sake of rallying the broadest front possible, we
can probably meet on basis of political and organizational con-
demnation of this visit to Cairo, knowing well that when the
front is asked about this subject, the answer will be in the way
we have expressed earlier on many occasions.
As for the basis on which this front will be founded, be it its
program or organizational bylaws, it is the right of all those who
express their desire to join, to also participate in putting such
programs. Perhaps we will propose a draft program, but itis not
our right to impose any program on anyone. Yet there are
some essential matters which must be taken into consideration
in the initiation of any program or organizational bylaws.
