«The formation of the Salvation
Front was aresponse to the needs of the
current phase of the Palestinian strug-
gle, especially after the convention of

Camp David process and spreading
Zionist-imperialist domination, in
alliance with Arab reaction.»

Arafat towards dealing with the
liquidationist US schemes. The forma-

requirements of the present stage. an
advanced step towards foiling the
course of deviation and its proponents. »

tion and its proponents. »
