Kaddoumi, who is head of the PLO´s political bureau and secretary- general of Fatah, is one of the few PLO leaders who have never recognized the Oslo Accords, arguing that the Palestinians should pursue "armed struggle" as the only means to liberate their lands.
Kaddoumi was apparently referring to recent reports that the US had allocated more than $42 million to help opponents of the Hamas-led government.

Kaddoumi is working to make sure that the Syrians, Iran, and Hizbullah fill the vacuum.

Palestinian security officials said Monday's kidnapping was carried out by a group loyal to Farouk Kaddoumi, a rival of PA leader Mahmoud Abbas and the most senior member of his ruling Fatah party.
The gunmen said the abduction was in response to the arrest of Kaddoumi's Khan Younis director Suleiman Abu Farra by security forces Sunday.
Kaddoumi is convinced this step is against the law and harms his position, as he believes foreign policy falls under his jurisdiction as Chairman of the PLO's foreign desk.

The clauses calling for Israel's destruction were to be removed, and afterwards, then-Prime Minister Peres called the outcome "the most important development in the last 100 years." In fact, however, as even left-wing politicians later said, what actually occurred was only a bureaucratic decision by the PNC to establish a committee to discuss the matter.

President Abbas returned from his trip to Tunis and a meeting of the Central Committee of Fatah that led to reconciliation between Mahmoud Abbas and Farouk Kaddoumi, the General Secretary of Fatah and the PLO Foreign Minister.
Before the January elections that Hamas won, the relations between Abbas and Kaddoumi soured as a result of President Abbas taking away from Kaddoumi the authority of running the diplomatic offices of the PLO and transferring it to the PA Minister of Foreign Affairs, Dr. Nasser Al-Qidwa.
Abbas now, in order to gain the support of Kaddoumi for the referendum, returned to Kaddoumi the right to run the diplomatic prerogatives by taking it away from the present PA Minister of Foreign Affairs Mahmoud Zahhar.

Aides to Abbas suspect that Kaddoumi is cooperating with Khaled Meshal, the head of Hamas' political bureau, who is based in Damascus, and that the two are making a bid to take over the Palestine Liberation Organization and move the Palestinian leadership out of the territories.
It is about a bitter struggle for power: Kaddoumi and two other members of the central committee, Ahmed Ghnayem and Mohammad Jihad, are veteran opponents of the peace process and the Oslo Accords, and refuse to come to the territories.

Kaddoumi, significantly, is also in Paris and not in Ramallah.
Hamas is also calling for elections, which is remarkable because the movement boycotted them in 1996 because it did not want to recognise the legitimacy of the Oslo agreements and the PA, much like Farouk Kaddoumi.
Pressure from both Hamas on the one hand and a rejectionist such as Kaddoumi on the other hand could prevent the new leadership from a capacity to be flexible.
