If the current Palestinian leadership changes its position, there will be no problem from our side.

The Advisory Commission has a working relationship with the Palestine Liberation Organisation.

Letters of recognition between the PLO and Israel accompanied the agreement.

The PLO embodies Palestinian national aspirations for independence and statehood.

Finally, there is Nasser al Qudwa, the former PLO representative at the United Nations.

There was a time when the PLO held positions that were the same as those of Hamas. Then the PLO changed.

It took more than four decades for the PLO to recognize Israel.

The Army also fought the Syrians and the PLO during Black September in 1970.

The PLO has succeeded in obtaining European support for a unilateral Palestinian declaration of statehood.

The PLO will likely gain much from Abbas s decision, because it de emphasizes the status of the PA president and raises the profile of his post as chairman of the PLO s executive committee.

Furthermore, the question of including Hamas in the Palestine Liberation Organization is crucial.

The Palestinian Liberation Organization was founded during this meeting on 2 June 1964.

Since Hamas was founded in the early 1980 s, it has refused to come under the leadership of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO).

Hamas is a far more convenient partner for such a settlement than the PLO.

According to its program, the government will respect all agreements signed by the PLO.

The Badr Brigade is composed of several thousand Palestinians, mostly long time PLO activists.

PLO leader Yasir Arafat and Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin then sealed the agreement with a historic handshake.

In February 1989, at the United Nations Security Council, the PLO representative claimed recognition by 94 states.

It was Yasir Arafat, through the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) he founded, that gave them a sense of identity as a people.

While state building is handled by the civilian Palestinian Authority, political efforts are handled by the PLO, whose chairman, Abbas, is the head of Fatah as well as the Palestinian Authority s president.

If Hamas comes out ahead, Abbas s allies in other Palestinian factions will press him to accept Hamas and Islamic Jihad within the PLO.

The Islamic Resistance Movement (known by its Arabic acronym, Hamas), which emerged during the first Intifada in 1987, grew more powerful in the 1990 s, after the return of the PLO s Yasser Arafat and the creation, as a result of the Oslo Accords, of the Palestinian Authority.

Without the resurrection of the Mecca agreement, which put Hamas and the PLO in a coalition government, Hamas cannot expect to secure its control of Gaza and the PLO cannot deliver a peace settlement with Israel.

The PLO s old guard men like Yasser Arafat and Abbas, who led the liberation organization from exile and returned home with the Oslo Accords dominated the Palestinian political landscape up to now.

On the other hand, the 95 States that did recognize Palestine in 1988 recognized that the West Bank was under the responsibility of the PLO.

Contrary to common perception, the PLO has always been the only official negotiating partner with Israel and does not include Hamas.

RAMALLAH Fatah, the leading guerrilla movement within the Palestine Liberation Organization, has moved one step closer to becoming a normal political party.

Its chief addressees were Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO).

Noting, in this regard, the active participation of the United Nations Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process and Personal Representative of the Secretary General to the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Palestinian Authority in the activities of the Special Envoys of the Quartet,

It is legitimate and imperative to make resumption of aid to Palestinians contingent on Hamas s recognition of Israel s right to exist and on its commitment to all international agreements previously signed by the PLO and the Palestinian Authority.

Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman suggested canceling the Oslo Accords, signed with the Palestine Liberation Organization in September 1993, which provided the basis for the creation of the Palestinian Authority in 1994.

Senior PLO officials have participated in demonstrations and protest activities, with some being injured and Executive Committee member Abbas Zaki imprisoned for a couple of days.

By December 1988, following six months of shuttle diplomacy, Shultz had established a diplomatic dialogue with the Palestine Liberation Organization, which was picked up by the next Administration.

Arafat is Chairman of the PLO executive Committee, President of the Palestinian National Authority, Commander in chief of the Palestinian forces, and head of the Fatah movement.

But, given the PLO s weakness and lack of support in the Arab world after its refusal to oppose Iraq s occupation of Kuwait, its leaders accepted the flawed agreement, arguing that Palestinian borders would be agreed upon during the transition period.

In accordance with the relevant General Assembly resolutions and decisions, use of the term Palestine in this report refers to the Palestine Liberation Organization, which established the Palestinian Authority (PA) following the 1993 1994 accords with Israel.

On 6 May 2005, the Secretary General had appointed Mr. Alvaro de Soto as United Nations Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process and as his Personal Representative to the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Palestinian Authority.

The public Madrid talks failed to bring about any breakthroughs, whereas the much more secretive Oslo channel brought about the PLO Israel agreement.

The Gulf War led to the Madrid Peace Conference in 1991 and the subsequent Oslo accords between the PLO and Israel in 1993.

Both the PLO and Israeli militant groups active at the time of Israel s creation moved away from violence once the international community engaged them.
