Expelled from jordan and then 11 on the p. L. O. Seem to be running out of options. Forced into a corner its leader Yasser Arafat soon found himself in gauged in a fratricidal fight for the control of the p. L. O. And for his life. With the withdrawal of the bulk of its forces from beirut the p. L. O. Was in limbo once again few out of countries wanted to welcome thousands of palestinian fighters for the 1st time the p. L. O. As existence in exile would be without the military force that had characterized it stays in jordan and lebanon. The price of defeat in beirut soon appeared before artifact the weakened p. L. O. Leader found himself under attack from palestinian Leaders Within the p. L. O. And even from within his own father faction. The critics said arafats style of leadership was too autocratic and they accused him of abandoning the revolution by evacuating beirut and seeking going to go sheeted settlement. Yes i offered to lead to any argument that i got to say yes that arafat wants to abandon the struggle we want to continue but he came to damascus and attempted a coup and fattal to kill the revolution which we want to preserve arafat has sold out because he is no longer interested in the revolution. Syria which had always wished to make the p. L. O. Subservient to its will sought to exploit facts vulnerability. Liquid has. Every defeat has a price and the part of the price was the split at the time syria tried to settle a score with the p. L. O. Leadership and what transpired was a syrian attempt to dominate palestinian Decision Making it should direct syrian intervention or through serious palestinian tool that was met with there is a defense of independence of palestinian Decision Making. The syrian intervention found the 3rd child breeding ground of differences and power struggles with them further. And it has really s. S. C. If shock that it. Out of our birth is a direct responsibility for the split in the p. L. O. There were 2 choices that arafats made the choice that there exist in swells futile. Palestinian opponents start a fight for breakaway groups splitting from out of france main factor faction one group called itself fattah and the father syria and libya were only too willing to support the rebels. The tensions within the p. L. O. Were rising the battle lines of a fratricidal struggle were beginning to appear. And. Let it affect them at. Objectively speaking in the beginning the demands made to arafats were just demands and possible to realize i presented them to him he said he could accept them but he distrusted the intentions of his opponents and i conveyed his acceptance to fight the intifada it was very obvious that they had no intention to arrive at an understanding i was convinced of there was a conspiracy and the other split serve the interest of certain our countries it was a joint syria libyan decision. But that that that what. We called for a dialogue to resolve the differences between both wings of fact that was rejected by arafats components in fact i happen to fire back at what they thought they could complete control of factor in the other hand arafats factor that was initially receptive to our proposal. Arafats arch rival abu nidal quickly allied himself with the anti out of fact faction. In april of 1983 at a meeting in portugal the Abu Nidal Organization assassinated by some subtle we 3 leading p. L. O. Moderate and artifact representatives who had been negotiating with israel. This. Is really leadership on peres also in attendance was left alone are. Enough to. A. Week or so i thought was assessing later on also him in tunis and i asked him why he hadnt also shot that is he said hes orders were to kill some thought we only saw one day i hope to write an article about abu nidal and i would call it who is a traitor the murderer or the victim the victim was innocent and honorable a man who knew where his peoples interest lay but the murderer was a tool and a traitor abu nidal discredited the palestinian cause in the eyes of the world when in 19052 of his european cells attacked rome and vienna airports killing 18 and wounding a 140 people. A cia document at the time claimed that abu nidal had not attacked a single israeli target back here. Back in june 1903 when it was syria declared on a shuttle persona nongrata and expelled him from damascus the break was cemented. So whats going on now. I think here you have to go there on the field and just have a go said its going to. Do you mean exactly as a. The you know i am very good evening after i have a meeting here after having the thing i really want meeting with you. And with everything and the president here you have an event where. I respect that but you have to wait and see. I think the commander. Going on now anything is going in an extent way ok ok thank you. Boss to be out of. It out either the minute i say do it out to be. A minute. When they met then the. Phrase so what if. This was but no one can harm fatah fatah is very strong no one can harm its leadership or unity we cannot be dictated to it would be very easy to get on a plane and go and surrender to syrian president. I assure you if i did that both the problems on the factions would vanish but we are against this for the sake of our people and the dignity of this movement and this model kind of he said. Half as our last side had grand strategic calculations he viewed the palestinian issue is his to god and preserve there is no such thing as the independence of palestinian Decision Making in the syrian. Syrias foreign minister once told me so and you had to palestine southern syria. In july 983 fighting broke out in the bekaa valley in lebanon between pro and anti how different forces on a fact now faced an armed revolt against his authority by procedure in elements within the p. L. O. And i thought loyalists who had found their way back to lebanon were besieged by the syrian army and its palestinian allies in the city of tripoli in norfolk and. In a daring there in sea journey from his new headquarters into the sea or out of that managed to slip into tripoli in disguise and join its. Pro syrian palestinians responded immediately. I mean most. What activity and carry it in for this to meet. The heavy it in. One of the. Fine and. Well. Why did he well. Enough see why shaaban finest cluny human. The defense of tripoli was led by artifacts deputy. That theyre known as abu jihad its so they met that of the city and decision this is he rejected the description of the ongoing battle as a purely palestinian affair youre seeing this out of whats think is that its the bank from the syrian army you see you can look you can follow it its. Just be fair to you as to diffuse this said coming from the city im not a museum them and they are. I see it in command but as you see. On a financial prominence kept up that tax they have the support among palestinians in the occupied territory. To me listen to me about that and what we can see that Yasser Arafat used to be a symbol for our people but the people are beginning to gradually see the truth and realize what is happening to this person who was interested as a fighter for the independence of palestinian Decision Making is now abusing his position to make. Such claims were not borne out by facts on the ground palestinians in the west bank in gaza rallied around on a fact who expressed the philosophical view of the ongoing conflict you have to understand what the meaning of war war is a loud voice for policy. The loud voice of politics was taking a heavy toll on the residents of tripoli. Faced with mounting pressure to end the conflict saudi arabias foreign minister traveled to damascus and announced an agreement had been reached and hostilities and evacuating out of us forces from tripoli we have. Reached an agreement. Here based on the 2 principles that. Do these principles weird. Prevent. Any destruction of the city of tripoli and stop the fighting between the factions tripoli and called for the withdrawal of Foreign Force at a Syrian Armed Forces out of tripoli well these principles have been enunciated in this. In this document. The United Nations made arrangements for out of fat and 4000. 00 of his fighters to depart the coastal lebanese city on board 5 greek ships. Following his 2nd expulsion from lebanon on a fact once more defined the enforced exile as another step towards victory this is a part of the long march. Out independent. States. Still are kept at palestine yet as it is beyond the rhetoric out of fact seemed a spent force. Like the elusive Palestinian Leader had another card up his sleeve. Short a friend out of fact traveled to cairo to meet egyptian president Hosni Mubarak it was a bold and dramatic act out of fact became the 1st arab leader to meet an egyptian president since former president and were said that had signed a peace treaty with israel in 1989 the arab world was thunderstruck. Thats what. He felt long and hard but do not imagine that it was an easy decision for him or he knew that he would antagonize the fact leadership now because he didnt consult them and he knew that syria will grant him a traitor and the end as he always did made the decision because he was convinced that it served a higher interest of the Palestinian People. But he was fully aware of the disks it entailed and that the people who loved and supported him find it incomprehensible i have had to visit was a diplomatic coup for mubarak and in subsequent years egypt would increasingly become the p. L. O. His main patron out of touch opponents within the p. L. O. Accused him of betraying the palestinian cause syria castigated him as a traitor under attack out of that sort of political refuge with his former adversary king hussein of jordan since the p. L. O. Was expulsion from jordan relations between the 2 leaders had always been uneasy but out of fact and king hussein now came together in an Uneasy Alliance the king allowed the Palestinian Parliament in exile to convene in the jordanian capital amman in 1984. This proved a lifeline trying to fight his ability to convene the Palestine National council with the required one allowed him to maintain the legitimacy of his leadership of the p. L. O. Bathmat a lawful in a 30 minute that measured we looked for locations to hold the p. And c. Meeting and there were suggestions of holding it on board the ship if the session of the p. And c. Hadnt taken place the p. L. O. Wouldnt have finished and tell us any legitimacy last so in spite of our reservations it was convened and im on. The jordanian p. L. O. Representative led to the signing of the iman accord in february 1905 according to its terms the p. L. O. And jordan would form a joint delegation to future negotiations for resolving the out of israeli conflict syria opposed the accord and sought to exact retribution for out of facts moved once again levon on was the battleground. The syrian backed a militia and and the other factions besieged the Palestinian Refugee camps in beirut and southern lebanon. The camps were subjected to an on and off siege and onslaught for the next 3 years. That can and that. If it out that. Could not have become involved had the syrians not them that a quest was made to sever lebanese but is that all of the client to have that is possibility of shedding palestinian blood on their hands and accepted that test. The fighting and the how doing the experiences for the refugees would be termed the camps war. There were criminals there 2. Palestinian women were being shot in the head as they went for water deliberately. And those criminals are Walking Around us among us today i can remember the savitri i can remember one day. With so many armor were firing so many machine guns i mean you know weapons into the camp that there was a rustling sound like. They go probably. And it took me several minutes to realize what it was they were firing so many bullets that the bullets were touching each other in the air as they were going into the camp walls of steel all touching each other all the bullets rustling like silk being torn up you know one hair was shot in the leg as she was trying to bring in food through the answers that they now call the death. And another lady here who has affected her she was shot in the head theyre forced to go out still to bring in food and almost every day women are shot comparisons were being drawn between the sub and shatila massacres and the new camps war. I thought that you know you and i say that war was very bloody and lasted a long time that the massacres perpetrated against the Palestinian People in that war well worse than sabra and shatila massacre it was a wholesale destruction and indiscriminate killing. The ama leadership should apologize to the Palestinian People if you genuinely wants closure we have a record of everything names and numbers they managed to crawl in from outside they were also from outside they call it in as the sand hills and this is the 2nd time that these girls are planning to come in in this way. Because. It was. On the up and down was. The. We feel that nobody is feeling but the. Suffering here is just the siege to continue killing the people i can see any political future or any. Victories for those who are ceding the camp or even we can say that our people inside the camp is not looking for victory just looking for peace and to live in a secure and of a life long way and i hope that the world around us can hear this for us and try to help our people to lift the siege. And in fact suffered a further blow when israeli warplanes raided his p. L. O. Headquarters in tunisia killing 160 people. Yet again artifacts survived. The p. L. O. Leader continued to be elusive in political matters as well jordans repeated attempts to induce him to honor the terms of the man accords proved futile. Associates a place of see as it were clear chairman arafat was a mecurio personality but he never kept any agreement he made with an arab country if he found a more lucrative offer elsewhere. With the amen accords he would place the term confederation or the term twinning as in twins. But this term has no basis in International Law it was the beginning of the end of the a man accords mckenna shot a 1st and though. It was a we feel that the fed had no real intention to commit to the ongoing that it was more of a maneuver than a real attempt at finding a solution i went to him to sign a document pertaining to the amount of calls i asked for some time to come for with the p. L. O. Leadership left and didnt return so we had a joke about him in the way that what we shot occurred to me of forcing me from this. Having had enough jordan announced the abrogation of the man accords almost one year after they had been signed. The jordanian severely curtailed the activities of the p. L. O. And expelled abu jihad. Oversell this fight to here to do this in a. Statement that was made public by one of the members of the cabinet in jordan the dane 10 to close 24 i owed of that dirty to be a law offices in jordan. To pull more straight. On day activities of the p. L. O. Even sure. We are not in the oil cage as some are thinking if we are in lebanon or in jail or been having some problems in syria that will not put an end for the p. L. O. Or for a palestinian state that we are still alive if it were as people who are still alive in our occupied territories facing the Israeli Occupation despite jordanian frustration many palestinians believe don i thought had accomplished a masterpiece to. Commit to me i set out after the man accords was a brilliant tactical maneuver executed by yes i refer to he used it to gain some breathing space but he established relations with jordan signed the agreement and then abrogated it. I was expecting it its condition from the good job that i got as far out of found himself he feigned ignorance as to want to go wrong but it seemed that spite of or a lot of thought still cordell in. Insisting they dont exist a business which will effect it in data or directly. Your definition that addiction. But i have to pay the price of his political move at an arab summit in amman in 1970 king hussein refused to receive the Palestinian Leader at the airport as well as this diplomatic snub the palestinian issue was relegated to the periphery of the agenda and in fact departed claiming he was satisfied with the results of the summit but he appeared to have reached the limits of his tactical capabilities. But as before the p. L. O. Leader from the lifeline. It was to come from an unexpected source. After decades of oppression the palestinians did living in the white territories. There was. A beleaguered out of 5 paying the price for his political maneuvering in the rooms now desperate for american recognition and absolutely denounce. Him is good it is how did the p. L. O. Find strength and support from their only lifeline oppressed palestinians living in the occupied territories chronicling the turbulent story of the struggle for a palestinian homeland p. L. O.
